Hello everyone,

I finally managed to get tilemill to work, thanks to Yohan's kind and
patient help. It wasn't an easy one, I had to pull a bunch of git repos and
compile lots of code, but I now get pdfs out.
I wrote a short python script to produce tiled pdfs, I'll try to share it
on github when I get some time to clean it up and make it reusable.

I just wanted to "close" this thread, and thank you all for your
reactivity. I'll share some pics of the printed map as soon as it's ready.
Also, I'll be sending a separate email shortly asking for some more HOT
help.

thanks again from Congo,
Laurent
