Hello Steve,

In SVN (tile.openstreetmap.org/ruby) the changed files are:

renderer.rb
rules.rb
new.xml

These can just be copied over to the live server and replaced.

Examples of output:

http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/renderer_sa.png - rural area (Fernhurst)
http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/renderer_sa2.png - Southampton
http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/renderer_sa3.png - Weybridge

It favours Map Features though some "class" attributes are still recognised. 
And hopefully no more acid-trip yellow-green stuff.... un-wayed segments are 
just rendered in neutral white/black casing.
