It's at the top of gen_tile.cpp - for some reason that one hasn't
been moved into render_config.h yet.

We know that mod_tile does need a bit of work to make it easier
to configure - currently it's all hard coded as a quick hack job
to get it running on our server.

If you fancy helping to make it easier to configure and use
then I'm sure Jon will be grateful - he has some ideas about
what needs doing I think. In fact they're in the TODO section
on the wiki page:
