Consider taking a look at an app I wrote, http://www.sgawebsites.com/projects/django-aggregator/.
It aggregates all JS and CSS files using a very simple syntax. It can also pipe the content through YUI Compressor before saving the aggregate. My aim was to make it extremely easy to use. It's not an asset manager though; I've yet to see or come up with a great solution.
