Without having looked at the source code, they don't give much in the way of 
detail as to what it actually does. I wonder if it could be replicated with a 
python script using PIL or similar.

Well, if we truly have to have libsdl-native then we have to find a way to 
mitigate the QEMU problems that building that will trigger, which probably 
means preventing it from finding that in the sysroot. I'm not sure whether this 
will be an acceptable solution from an OE-Core perspective but I can't think 
of any other (other than writing an equivalent to TexturePacker that doesn't 
use SDL or anything that requires SDL).

Cheers,
Paul
