Macromedia's Fireworks or Adobe's Imageready can supposedly take an image and 
slice it up into rectangular parts that can be used to create obnoxiously image-heavy 
webpages... but this might be a worthy application for one of them...

Dunno about the Gimp... I poked around but couldn't find any standard tool for doing 
so, but perhaps there is a plugin for the Gimp that does the same.
