[Tilesathome] t at h server next generation

There is a time limit, but since the tilesGen.pl modification would require
the client to make many small uploads instead of one large upload (since
AppEngine can't unzip) my testing didn't show any problems with time.

Yes, since you can't do any file system manipulation with AppEngine, the zip
file tileset handling won't work.
