Nice one. Could be very helpful for overlays of all kind.

No problem. The style needs to be in a single directory with all 
includes and icons being
  a) inside this folder
  b) symlinks to a folder in the osm-project-homedir

I copied the style into the p_osm repo and added it to the tirex setup. 
I added osm-bw.xml. Do you need the other styles as well?

I added it there:
<http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=2&lat=54.36776&lon=9.84375&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FFFFB>

z0-6 have been added to the background queue and they're rendered right now.

If there is a need for a bw-style without icons, we could add them, too.
