I've put the files used to generate the tiles in
http://osm.newportcoastsoftware.com/mapnik

osm-template-local-nocap.xml is the template for the captionless layer
osm-template-local-caps.xml is the template for the captions layers
names-list is the list of names layers

osm-template-local-nocap.xml is turned into osm.xml using
customize-mapnik-map-nocap, which is customize-mapnik-map with the source
filename changed...
osm.template-local-caps.xml is turned into all the osm.xml.*cap files using
make-cap-osm-xml which is customize-mapnik-map changed to loop through the
contents of names-list to generate the osm.xml.*cap files...

Anything else, let me know...
