[OSM-talk] Google-like Tile identifiers from TileCache

[Christopher Schmidt]

TileCache now supports the same Tile URL format as the OpenStreetMap
"LikeGoogle" layer, which as x/y starting from the upper left of the
bbox and counting up as it moves south.

  http://labs.metacarta.com/wms-c/Basic.py/1.0.0/osm-merc/5/15/10.png?type=google
  
nearly matches up to:
  http://tile.openstreetmap.org/mapnik/5/15/10.png

The slight offset is due to differences in projection.
(generate_tiles.py assumes that the world is a sphere, rather than an
ellipsoid.)
