Problem
=======
 - Images are too large because they are not optimized
 - Users & your bandwidth is wasted for useless metadata
 - local image optimization requires tons of programs / libaries / knowledge

Solution
========
 - *LOSSLESS* size reduction (10-97% size reduction) in the cloud
 - optmizes all images(jpg+png) from a given folder

Install
=======
    install ruby + rubygems + curl
    sudo gem install grosser-smusher --source http://gems.github.com/

Usage
=====
    smusher /apps/x/public/images # optimize all jpg/png images, NOT gifs
    smusher /apps/x/public/images/x.png # optimize a single image
    smusher /apps/x/public/images/x.gif # !!optimize to smaller png, rename it yourself!!

Protection
==========
Smusher makes .backup copies of any image before optimizing.  
Any image that returns a failure code, is larger than before,  
or is empty will be reverted.

Example
======
    smusher /apps/ts/public/images
      sushing /apps/rs/public/images/social/facebook_icon.png
      2887 -> 132                              = 4%

      sushing /apps/rs/public/images/social/myspace_icon.png
      3136 -> 282                              = 8%

      sushing /apps/rs/public/images/dvd/dvd_1.png
      5045 -> 4                                = 0%
      reverted!
      ...

TODO
====
 - use rest-client rather than curl
 - windows support?
