[OSM-talk] Custom rendering of a small map

See libosmscout.sf.net. It is designed as a library for offline map 
drawing (however not editing) in mobile devices. It is a renderer (and 
router) optimized for minimum data size and speed.

Since libosmsocut uses cairo internally and cairo has SVG export this 
would should work with it, too. But I assume it needs some more time to 
get the required drawing quality to be usable for generating printable 
maps (but it is already worth a try :-)).
