Man, this thread is somewhat old.
I wonder if anybody thought about a plugin since then?
Wich might be also interesting for those considering the use of these tools anyway:
Spine has also an option to export png frames from the animations - this combined with the option to have skins for your characters (or what ever you might want to create with this tools)can still save you some time in creating several characters. For example you might just add a skin without the need of creating all the animations you have already done for another character. (stuff like walk, use, etc.) As I have been using mainly spine I can just be sure about that tool. But I assume spriter also offers this opportunity.
