CSS Pie - Cut down to just the bits I need

Question

Does anyone know of any resource that lets you produce a CSSPie file that only has the code for the features I want to use?

e.g. just border radius, or just gradients etc

Kind of like how modernizer allows you to make a custom version

It's kinda bulky when you are not using all its functionality.

msdn has documentation on how to create specific filters and your own htc files. idk about any gradient generators, plus i don't think ie supports radial gradients, but this css covers basic gradients:

for ie5.5-ie7

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#ff00ff', endColorstr='#ffffff');

for ie8

-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#ff00ff', endColorstr='#ffffff')";

and you can find rounded corners htc here: http://code.google.com/p/curved-corner/

No, there isn't any easy way. Maybe as on the CSS3PIE forums http://css3pie.com/forum/.

Remember that it's only going to be downloaded for IE8 and lower, so it's only a slow down for a increasingly shrinking percentage of users.

For gradients you can use the filter syntax, for rounded corners he's drawing them in VML, so that's a little more involved.
