Add line-break option #8

Various implementations of the YUI Compressor expose a line-break option, which tells the compressor to insert line breaks every n characters in minified scripts in order to keep line lengths down to a size that won't cause problems in certain browsers and/or source-control systems.

The yuicompressor node package supports this option, for instance: https://npmjs.org/package/yuicompressor

My colleague @fblundun is working on this one now... Expect a PR in a bit.
