How would I then serve these to JOSM?

Okay, I'll take a look at gdal2tiles; disk space, ram and CPU power
are commodities I have available in ample quantity. :)

I'm running a broken Debian unstable distro at the moment.  :)  I plan
to reformat to use UBUNTU in the future so I'll have to look at
Mapserver then.
