Tool to Unminify / Decompress JavaScript

You cannot truly unminify javascript, as minified javascript replaces variable names with letters, as well as removing code comments - these cannot be "undone" as the original information no longer exists.

It appears that you can at least recreate appropriate spacing, but "real" minified javascript cannot be undone.
