 SymbolLibrary support in Maestro is very limited and is not the
 recommended way of stylizing features (we should be using Symbol
 Definitions now). To facilitate this migration, we need an easy way to
 convert the symbol data within these Symbol Library resources into Symbol
 Definitions.

 Maestro has the ability to view images in a SymbolLibrary due to:

  * The backing store being a DWF file
  * The DWF file being able to be inspected using Drawing Service APIs

 With this trick, it is possible for us to be able to convert a
 SymbolLibrary of images, into a set of individual image-based Symbol
 Definitions.
