We could add easily source files, no problem at all, but I don't think
it's necessary:

For jquery, we maintain the original header and the minified file is
unmodified, so I think we are right on this.
For bootstrap, variables.less and bootswatch.less are provided, so
anyone with the right tools (less compiler) could obtain the minified
file again, so I think we are right also here.

Yes and I did it. Jquery is unmodified, so no need to carry the source
file. Bootstrap already have the necessary files to rebuild it in case
of necessity. I think that maintaining source files is cumbersome,
because than we should stay up to date with the mainstream.
Having minified files that serve us and the pieces to rebuilt them is
surely more practical.

Sincerely, Angelo
