If you plan to do that, please always keep in mind that people are using 
tiles at home for the generation of differently styled local slippy maps as 
well. In such a context the styles must not be updated.

It would also be wrong to assume that the running copy of t at h is 
actually an SVN working copy, and it would be wrong to assume that the 
user under which the program is running has write access to binaries or 
styles. (I think this assumption is made at the moment, and nobody has 
complained much, but that doesn't make it a sensible design decision.)

Bye
Frederik
