Thanks for the OpenGeo Suite shout out, but at 250 megs for the
download, installing a full database and webserver, I think it's about
the furthest thing from "light" on this list.
Hoping to get it to the point where it's a cloud deployment and you
could just make what you want to do a handful of api calls, but we're
not quite there yet.

Sounds heavy.
MapServer is not so much a complete server, as just a simple CGI
executable (about a megabyte in size). You only need to craft a MAP
file, which is a tricky text file telling the layer source and how it
is stylized. You can connect to most things, including MySQL[1] and
Shapefiles. To get a PNG, you only need to POST a few parameters to
the executable, and it sends you the image file back. You can also use
it with MapScript for PHP or Python. There is lots of documentation[2]
and even a book[3].
