is there a tool (preferably a rails plugin or gem, or rack middleware, but hosted web service would be fine too) that will take images linked to in a site's css and auto-sprite them, fixing up the css at the same time?

There's several: Google "CSS sprite generator"

I'd categorically recommend against all of them, however. I feel it's a better practice to manage it yourself. Of course, if you need to convert multiple sites fast, they might be worth a try.
