Description
I'm unable to run tmxrasterizer on a headless box:
$ tmxrasterizer
tmxrasterizer: cannot connect to X server
I can't find anywhere in the code for tmxrasterizer which looks for an X server specifically so I assume it must be in one of the imported Tiled modules.
Does the module inherently need X server to perform the functions that tmxrasterizer uses, or does the module just check for the X server because it assumes you're going to run Tiled proper?

Research direction
Start at the tmxrasterizer entry point and trace the imported Tiled modules involved before the X-server connection occurs. Run tmxrasterizer on a headless box and determine whether it can perform its rasterization functions without X; done means the command runs there or the required dependency is clearly identified.
