Thanks Pamela.
You made my day. Some guidelines on legal / illegal use of static
maps will be useful. For instance, are "light weight" markers and/or
"light weight" polys constructed in browser allowed ?
FWIW - static maps are PERFECT for quick navigation to another web
page with / without another map.
And now another request. Somehow enable this to be used for a custom
map layer? I'd really like to be able to serve static versions of my
aeronautical chart custom map tiles. I can obviously do it by writing
my own scripts that duplicate the functionality of your scripts, but
I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.

Sending requests for tiles hosted by your server through Google's
server will add a lot of extra overhead. If you are using a WMS, it
is fairly easy because you can control the bounding box. If you have
actual physical tiles, it is a bit of a pain because you must deal
with tile positioning. You also have to clip partial tiles with extra
"see through" layer.
