Subject:	Easiest to ditch mapserver? (Re: [OSM-dev] Re: Transparency in osm.php and srtm.php)

Hello everyone,

As an alternative to the transparency problem, might it be better just to 
replace Mapserver with a lightweight script which takes in a bounding box 
and list of layers and composits them? Even with 8-bit pngs this should be 
possible as long as they have a transparent colour defined.

The URL could be something like:

tiles.php?BBOX=.....&layers=landsat,osm,srtm
