Paul, check out CSScaffold. It does more than you want, but you could easily harness the compile + compress on the server capabilities you want from it. That said, I've been playing with it and am very impressed with it as a package. It'll likely replace my homegrown patterns ad server-side CSS generation tools that I've built over the years.
