I have implemented something that I hope will do what you want to do here.
It is in the trunk version 801.

It uses the new 'overlays' file in the style.

Example:

<<<version>>>
0

<<<lines>>>
highway=path & mtb:scale=0 [ 0x140 ]
highway=path & mtb:scale=1 [ 0x141 ]

<<<overlays>>>
0x140: 0x7, 0x18
0x141: 0x7, 0x19

So for a path of scale 0, you would get two lines drawn on top
of each other with types 7 and 18.  For scale 1, 7 and 19.

You can have more than two.

The good thing is that if mkgmap ever supports large type numbers, you can
just remove the overlays file and use 0x140 and 0x141 etc directly.
