[Tilesathome] Osmarender colours and stylesheets

In Osmarender4, Jochen had made an effort to put all symbols into an 
external directory and also make them all the same scale etc., even 
providing a demo svg that would pull them all in for easy viewing, but 
somehow this got lost in later versions and symbols are now back in the 
rules files themselves; don't know what need triggered that but a trip 
back through subversion might unearth these features.

Yes, there was a bit of code in the SVG that I did not understand and 
that wasn't obviously used. Maybe one can even produce .svg files that 
simply href external symbols?

I think the latter is the case ;-), as using scale will make rendering 
look very different.
