Thank you, it seems to work well. The statistics it gives on stdout 
during the process is now slightly misleading because it claims to have 
"rendered" a tile when in fact it has only despatched the request to 
renderd; only the final statistics (after waiting for renderd threads) 
is accurate. But that is irrelevant for my application.

render_list now makes "bulk" requests, and I assume that mod_tile makes 
"priority" requests - but there seems to be a third category in between 
these (those that are neither bulk nor priority) - what's this used for?
