SDL_gfx can do scaling, and alpha-blending, too, I suppose.

You didn't say what you're trying to do, though. If you're just
trying to streamline your design pipeline, with the final result still
being a bitmap you can feed to mktileset, then it might be worth a try
to do that as a gimp plugin, now that gimp also has a non-GUI version.
