FormWizard inside view with proper context handling and site templating support, without having to use urls.py

Okay - so I came across a really annoying problem earlier, where I wasn't able to *easily* load a formwizard as a segment into an existing view, and wrap it using my existing site template layouts. This was *REALLY* annoying. Especially since I wanted to keep as much of a 'overall' templating and application logic in the views.py (and just leave the forms.py to handle the form and its own templating for the form pages) I spent about 2 hours trying to make this as conventional as possible, and finally came up with a solution. The result is something which looks as similar to the usual functionality. This also meant that there is seperation between form styling and overall site styling, so your forms can be used between multiple sites, and if your overall site template uses extends, then the context support keeps this nicely in order. This also allows you to initialise the formwizard in a nicer way.. Of course, in each file, you'll need to import the necessary bits (like importing the testform from the view etc)
