Unfortunately TileDesigner does not generate usable SVG. I'm not sure if
the problem is TileDesigner or the Batik library, but I've already gone
down that path.

The way I've been obtaining SVGs is to export to PS from TileDesigner,
then use pstoedit to convert them to SVG. From there, each tile needs a
bit of tweaking that I have been doing with Inkscape, but should be
scriptable without too much trouble.

So, ideally, what I need is GIFs and SVGs of each tile.  Or, if that
won't work for you, I'd also accept a more complete TileDesigner
database.
