pnginator: pack Javascript into a self-extracting PNG

pnginator.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w

# pnginator.rb: pack a .js file into a PNG image with an HTML payload;
# when saved with an .html extension and opened in a browser, the HTML extracts and executes
# the javascript.

# Usage: ruby pnginator.rb input.js output.png.html

# By Gasman <http://matt.west.co.tt/>
# from an original idea by Daeken: http://daeken.com/superpacking-js-demos
