I wrote this a while ago:
https://github.com/Carpetsmoker/singlepage
The main goal isn't really to "minify" files, as such – although it can
do that – but more to bundle them in a single page. This allows me to
use the same CSS for several HTML documents while still serving a single
HTML document without any external dependencies (a concept that I like).
As for my general thoughts on minification: use common sense. If you're
creating one of those pages with 3M of JavaScript then it probably makes
sense. If you're creating something more sane then it's probably just
wasted effort at best.
