No, I don't think we should ship them all within the OcitySMap source
code: the Mapnik-OSM and MapQuest stylesheets have their own
repositories, and it wouldn't be nice to duplicate them, as it would
make it more difficult to follow the upstream development.

During the hackfest, we discussed using the Git subtree functionality
to aggregate the stylesheet Git repositories into the OcitySMap
repository, but while this is doable for the MapQuest stylesheet
(maintained in a Git repository), this isn't easily possible for the
Mapnik-OSM stylesheet, which is maintained in a Subversion repository.

I prefer the solution proposed by David Mentré, where we use symbolic
links for the external stylesheets such as Mapnik-OSM and MapQuest.

Best regards,
