Additional script types to be compressed as HTML

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that the script type 'x-jquery-tmpl' won't be used much in the future 
as jQuery tmpl plugin has been abandoned [1] some time ago. It would be good if 
'text/html' and 'text/template' were added to the script type check, as they 
are the two most commonly used alternative types for JS templates.

If you accept patches I'll be able to do this sometime this week.
Thank you.

Thanks for the report. No need to do the patch, I probably would need to 
introduce a new option to compress "text/" scripts as html.

One solution, that would make it simple for common use cases, could be for that 
new option, say '--compress-script', to compress any script tag that has a type 
defined and that type is not any of 'text/javascript', 'text/ecmascript', 
'application/javascript', and 'application/ecmascript'. Other exceptions via 
the config file could be provided but I can't imagine that would be used too 
often.
