You can complecate it more if you want to render things on demand rather 
than prerender everything, but thats basicly all thats needed produce a 
bunch of tiles.

There are daily and even hourly 'diffs', i dont know if osm2pgsql or any 
other tool can update the mapnik database useing them though.
