Alex,

I think Chris Schmidt put this demo together, which might be of 
interest: http://tilecache.org/demos/xkcd-onlinecommunities.html

I don't know what the backend tilecache config looks like exactly, but 
I'd guess it uses ImageLayer.  Search for the ImageLayer class in 
Layer.py for some notes on use (maybe documented more fully somewhere 
else, but I don't know where).
