If you already have a tile.php, the one included in OpenLayers is *not*
for you. Just use the one you currently have. The tile.php in OpenLayers
Subversion is for when you *don't* have ka-map already set up.

It's just config.php and tile.php. Any lack is just a mistake -- I dont'
think I pulled anything out of it.

index.php *is* a tile.php. The name of the file on the server doesn't
matter. Naming it index.php means that we can use it as '/world/' on
URLs on the OpenLayers server -- I *hate* extensions in filenames, but I
think without it, the example would have been less clear in this case,
which is why the example does include it.
