It would be nice if this was handled by the trivial-build-system
itself. Almost all trivial-build-system packages I can think of need
some variant of this.

I have to use `system' instead of `system*' here, because I need to make
use of ">" to redirect output to a file.

While minifying some files, an ascii decoding error is reported. I'm yet
to sort that out.
