Glass cutter and straight edge. Score the tile, snap over a dowel.

Your best bet is just to have the few cuts you need made at a shop.

Thanks for the advice guys. After calling around and finally remembering
that I knew a family member who works for a BORG, I've found that I can
buy the wet saw for not too much money.

Of course now the wife wants the OTHER bathroom done as well....
