Hi,

    "by popular demand" ;)

Please make sure to read the README file there.

Regarding boundaries, I prefer geographical over political grouping. The 
Azores are part of the Europe extract but they are not part of the 
Portugal extract; likewise, British/French/Dutch overseas territories 
are not included in the extract of the mother country and usually not 
even in the Europe extract. There are no hard and fast rules but I 
figured that if someone took the France extract and computed tiles for 
everything in that bounding box, they should not have a nasty surprise 
because I threw in Guadeloupe ;)

Bye
Frederik
