[OSM-talk] Update my OSM Tiles after Diff DB Application??

I am creating my own tile server for OSM using Windows Server 2003.
I need help on how to make tiles expire and create new tiles after updating
my postgres DB with osm diffs.

Since I am using Windows 2003, I can not use mod_tile. Here is my stack so
far:

Data: OSM Planet dump 
DB: Postgres with PostGIS 
Web Server: Apache Tomcat 
OS: Windows Server 2003 
UI: OpenLayers 
DB loader: osm2pgsql 
Tile Maker: Mapnik 

I am currently serving up tiles from a folder on my server using the
OpenLayers.Layer.OSM class, i.e. I am not using TileCache or anything else. 
I see you can you use the --expire-tiles option within osm2pgsql to create a
list of expired tiles after you append new OSM data into the DB.

How do I use this option to then create new tiles? Is this the right way to
even proceed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to be as detailed as
you can afford ;-)
