[Tilesathome] Please test unstable branch now

[spaetz]

Hi all.

stable branch seems to be running nice (if the API responds).

I am at a stage where I would like to have a couple of people give the current unstable a quick beating to see if it works well.

It has forked inkscape rendering turned back on which helps on multi-core CPUs with loads of RAM and various cleanups. If it turns out to be stable, I would like to port it to the stable branch over the weekend or so.

The unstable branch will then become my development branch for reducing the number of inkscape calls and for autotuning the maxcomplexity setting based on a patch by petschge.

Installing _unstable is only an SVN away:
 svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/tilesAtHome_unstable

Thanks for testing it a few days
