Chris,

If you were to create an inital button using sodipodi and save it as a
svg file ( the default I think) then you could use a simple sed script
to create icons by replacing the demo text with the text required for
that button.

Then running 

convert iconsrc.svg iconfin.png

on each file would give you a nice set of icons, assuming you have
ImageMagick installed.

Pop all of that in a nice script, with your various bits of icon text
defined at the top and you can create a set of icons over and over again
as you change the style of the initial svg file.

Hope that helps.
