We need to streamline animation a bit because handwriting positions and sizes is tedious work. Let's see about integrating an animation program that provides some simple metadata about a tileset describing the animation. Using the existing animation system with the metadata should be straightforward.
I've used programs like GraphicsGale. But I don't think it provides metadata; it just assumes that each frame is the same size, making it trivial to load automatically in a program.
