Nice Andy. If I can help let me know as well. In Mapnik trunk I've been working on adding support for GDAL overviews, so using gdaladdo on that large Geotiff and then reading it with the 'gdal' datasource could be really useful if the geotiff is > 1GB. Also, reprojecting the geotiff into EPSG:900913 will be required, before rendering with Mapnik.
