(Too lazy to read the source now:)

Does this work by stitching together tiles from an arbitrary
tileserver? Or does it use something like cgi-bin/export in some
cases?

If it's the former how do such applications handle cases where the
user exports an area that has "More OSM coming soon" tile(s) anyway?
