OK, well here's a quick hack to try out.  It should obey the
auto-loading preference if specified.  You can also add custom map
sources by editing your prefs file and adding entries like this:

slippymap.custom_tile_source_name1=Mapnikcopy
slippymap.custom_tile_source_url1=http://tile.openstreetmap.org

You can add several as long as you end the names with 1, 2, 3...

Here are the jars:

Does anyone care about having a gui to add custom sources?  I'm not sure
how common it is for people to need that.
