Looks good!

Can we get a test? Also can we make it work as a single image task for parallel functioning?

[JayaKrishnaNamburu]

Sure, i will add the tests now 👍

I wonder if it would be faster to just use the base libraries directly?

Eg https://github.com/imagemin/jpegtran-bin has a native binary behind it.

Perhaps we need a Chomp task for downloading and caching binaries then using them.....

Yes, but they work best for individual tasks maybe. Like for jpeg's alone something like that. imagemin gives flexibility to work with all types at once. Maybe just like an another option 😄

@JayaKrishnaNamburu it still just chains the operations on the same image though, which could be handled by a command line process in 1/10th of the time (Node.js has 100ms startup time cost). I think that would be the better approach eventually, have put down the idea of arbitrary executable URLs in guybedford/chomp#96.
