In order to find a good TYP file for the default mgkmap styles, I found the 
mapnik.TYP from Petrovsk (1) very useful.
Because some areas were not rendered very well, I modified a few things and put 
it here to download (2).
For instance he uses solid bitmaps for rendering areas, where transpararent 
bitmaps looks better.
Residential areas were rendered like campgrounds but maybe the style files are 
a bit different or they were changed.
I only changed a few things in the original TYP file (polygons for forests, 
campground->residential and farmland).
The results can be seen here (3)

I noticed there are a few things not rendered at all in the standard style:
-landuse=grass for instance
-highway=cycleway is rendered as footway etc

I would like to hear your opinion if there should be a standard TYP file (like 
mapnik)
or why not.
