Ok, I tried this myself and it doesn't work, seemingly because the
slippymap plugin attempts to fetch tiles from <url>/*/*/*.jpg, rather
than <url>&z=<z>&x=<x>&y=<y>&nml=Vert.

Something like that. This problem seems to be the motivation for
Morb_au's "hosted Apache mod_rewrite instance" (details:

This is still a bit yuck. Anyone made any progress?
