Enable easy scaling of TikZ picture after generation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When including a PDF of PNG figure into a document, one typically achieves this 
with something like

\includegraphics[width=0.7\linewidth]{myfig}

This way, the same figure can be included into multiple documents and/or have 
its width adjusted after generation

It would be very useful if the TikZ code was generated to make something like 
this possible:

\newlength\tikzfigwidth
\newcommand{\includetikz}[2][0.9\linewidth]{%
\setlength\tikzfigwidth{#1}%
\scriptsize%
\input{#2}%
} 

\includetikz[0.5\linewidth]{myfig.tikz}

I.e., the TikZ figures are generated as multiplies of a \tikzfigwidth length.

This should be labelled as an 'enhancement', not 'defect'. I don't know how to 
change this.

Not sure how to implement this. Any ideas?
