I have access to the mapnik source code.  I see the code where it 
supports multiple polygon in a single shapefile record (by looking  at 
the number of parts).  But it appears to be then returning each part as 
a polygon in the larger mapnik::polygon_impl.  Unless you are saying 
that the mapnik library understands the shapefile direction part and is 
not filling counter clockwise shapes (as defined by the shapefile 
definition)?
