Use django-admin.py instead of manage.py

A lot of people new to Django don't realize that `manage.py` is [just a wrapper](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django-admin/) around the `django-admin.py` script installed with Django and isn't needed. (You may need to symlink `django-admin.py` to someplace in your system `PATH` such as `/usr/local/bin`.) The most important thing it does is to set your `PYTHONPATH` and `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variables before calling `django-admin.py`. Those same settings are needed when you move your site on to a production server like Apache, so it is important to know how they work. This shell function sets those variables for you. Put it in your `.zshrc` or bash startup script. It works for both the monolithic project style and the lightweight app style of Django development [[1](http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2007/11/09/django-tip-developing-without-projects/)], [[2](http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/nov/09/projects/)]. This function isn't fancy; drop a comment if you have an improvement. Written for zsh and tested with bash 3.1.17.
