Townguide Web Service Working

Well, I think the townguide web service is working now (http://www.townguide.webhop.net).
There is a simple queue so it only renders one job at a time, and you can view the progress of your job through the queue.
The source code and early documentation is stored at http://code.google.com/p/townguide.
The main thing to fix now is the output resolution - if I increase the resolution (in dpi) of the output map too far, mapnik changes zoom level and reduces the size of the text, so it is no easier to read - I need to understand mapnik style sheets now....
