adding js files to .net with Bundling and Minification

Question

I normally have something like this in the <head> of my aspx page

<script src="jquery/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery/jquery-ui-1.8.24.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery/jquery.floatingFixed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery/waypoints.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

after watching This Video Scott Guthrie says that this is no longer needed , that you can add all .js files from a file in one <script> tag and .Net will automatically minify and bundil it for you. Like so

 <script src="jquery/js" type="text/javascript" ></script>

EDIT: I know that this can be done with numerous third party tools , but he does it in the video with .Net - and explains how the .Net minification compares to third party minification (meaning he is not using a third party tool)

Now.. I understand this is a video on MVC 4, but he says that this is also available in WebForms . I am using VS 2010 sp1 (.Net 4.0) with MVC 4 installed and it is not working, is there some tool that I am missing that I need to add? or is this only for VS 2011 and VS 2012?

Bundling is handled by Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization which can be found in NuGet and used within your templates to output the bundled script / styles.
