Are there any good alternatives to the Compass sprite generator? (Rails sprite generators)

Question

I was wondering if there are any libraries out there that do what the Compass sprite generator does? I absolutely love that feature of Compass, but I don't want the rest of the framework. I just want something that creates a sprite with a folder full of PNGs and maybe creates some CSS classes I can use to display the graphics in the sprite. I've done a little poking around, and I see a lot of sprite generators as web apps. Do people use these for high-traffic sites? Or do people generally maintain their own sprites using Photoshop or some better tool? Any info is most appreciated!
