Microsoft Ajax Minifier 4, how to change output folder?

Question

I would like to change the output folder of the ajax minifier so that when i build my project, all javascripts end up in the output folder instead of a copy next to the original file.

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\MicrosoftAjax\ajaxmin.tasks" />
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
    <ItemGroup>
        <JS Include="SourceScripts\*.js" />  <!--Output="Scripts\*.js"-->
    </ItemGroup>
    <ItemGroup>
        <CSS Include="**\*.css" Exclude="**\*.min.css" />
    </ItemGroup>
    <AjaxMin
            JsSourceFiles="@(JS)"  JsSourceExtensionPattern="\.js$" JsTargetExtension=".min.js"
            CssSourceFiles="@(CSS)" CssSourceExtensionPattern="\.css$" CssTargetExtension=".min.css"  />
</Target>

Something like this. I have one folder called SourceScripts and one mirrored folder called Scripts. When i build, i want the scripts in SourceScripts (and its folders) to be minified and copied to the Scripts folder (same folder structure). Is this possible? We are using VS 2010.

Is it possible for you to copy them to the Scripts folder first, then minify them in place? — Brian Kretzler, Jun 15 '11 at 17:11
If its possible to configure VS 2010 to first move them, then run the minification and then delete them, sure. — Patrick, Jun 22 '11 at 11:59
