Optimize code for compression. I've done some hand-tooled tricks with string aliases for onreadystatechange and readyState for better minification. It's slightly harder to read, but not much. I didn't go for the final bytes that would have made the underlying code too unreadable.
Update docs for release/build tool integration
Add npm 'version' lifecycle commands
Note: I'm not planning on doing a UMD wrapper ( #9 ), instead giving documentation of how to build with "the usual tools" to have a laser-light focus on tightly inlining this.
We're down to 525 bytes with Uglify! Also note that although Closure Compiler goes smaller at 519 bytes, the 6 bytes difference doesn't make it worth the cost of having Java in the publishing pipeline.
... after this we should be ready for rollout to Atlas and beyond!
$ npm run build
$ wc -c dist/little-loader.min.js
525 dist/little-loader.min.js
Fixes #10
