 Overview
 --------
 
-This is a wrapper for the [elfz Javascript beautifier].  I found this to be the best Javascript beautifier available, but I needed to be able to run it in batch and from shell scripts.  Since I needed also to parse Facebook's monstrous common.js file, I decided to also look into [Tamarin], Adobe's JIT gift to Mozilla.  It provides the minimal file IO facilities needed to run this beautifier tool standalone.

+code, so it behooved me to use the fastest JS implementation available.

+Setup
+-----
+
+To build Tamarin, you need to follow the instructions on the [MDC].  Tamarin is
+a bit different from most JS implementations in that compilation to bytecode is
+performed separately from the execution (javac:java::asc:avmplus).
