We have a python script that creates a layer for each tiff produced.
I've attached it, it has some hardcoded paths so you'll need to edit
it. The generated file is then included into the mapnik style sheet --
you can use XML entities to do that [1]. Make sure you're using a
recent version of Mapnik (svn version 789 or later) because otherwise
it can't handle the thousands of layers efficiently due to a bug.

For the contours we haven't figured out how to prevent those
irritating joins on the srtm tile boundary yet. They're not that
noticable. If you figure it out do let me & andy know  :-)

Thanks
Dave
