jezdez/django_compressor — Issue #155: 1.1.1 release has undocumented interface change to YUI-compressor filter

The 1.1.1 release has an undocumented change to how the YUI-Compressor filter works. The new behavior prepends a hardcoded `java -jar` to the `COMPRESS_YUI_BINARY` setting. While this may be a common formula, it is not desirable in the case where a wrapping script is provided (as it is in the Ubuntu distribution of yui-compressor, which has a wrapping script that selects the correct java binary).

It's also annoying that this popped up in such a minor release, and undocumented to boot.

(Please see my comments on https://github.com/jezdez/django_compressor/commit/564268a2204b568a39aac10205787036b62c979d#commitcomment-704401)
