  Telerik mvc controls already have such functionality (combine/pack/cache css/js files). It's very useful. It would be very nice to see that integrated into mvc framework

  This should be baked into the framework or provided as an extension and utilize a provider model to swap out the base implementation if desired.

  There are tons of great things like this out there. I am also using SquishIt myself now. However, this really should be a part of MVC as it is something which almost everyone is going to need at some point. Also, simple combining or packing is easy, but I would prefer to have an 'official MVC' solution which I new was going to handle all the URL rewrites correctly and would better support things like pulling the CSS/JS from an embedded resource.

  https://github.com/jetheredge/SquishIt handles this as well and lets you maintain caching configuration through your web.config.

  http://combres.codeplex.com/ - .NET library which enables minification, compression, combination, and caching of JavaScript and CSS resources for ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC web applications.

  I've done this and it works like a charm.

  this is what i nearly do. slightly different. i have
  http://site.com/js/[files_basic_checksum].js
  where files_basic_checksum is the filename + lastmodifieddate + compressionlevel of the js files im including as one then md5ed.
  that way if i change one file, or decide to minify the file more, the url changes and the user gets a new copy.
  also since the url for that file will always be unique and if any changes to the files happen its a new URL, i can set the cache for that file for 10 years users only ever have to download it once.

  i also do this for CSS files.
  for master pages, i have a global set of css and js files I include on every page.
