Suggested feature: preserve line count #16

An option to minify while preserving the number of lines in the file. This would assist in debugging in that line numbers reported on the target system would match those in the commented original. In long well-commented files these can diverge to the point where debugging becomes hard.

This should be doable but I don't have much time to work on pyminifier right now. Anyone want to try their hand at adding this feature? I'll gladly accept the pull request (and I just noticed I have some PRs in the queue...).
