monkey-patch django to use jinja2 templates for 404/500 pages and 3rd-party apps

This is heavily inspired by [http://code.google.com/p/smorgasbord/](http://code.google.com/p/smorgasbord/). But that couldn't reuse an existing jinja2 Environment, nor set filters on the Environment it created. This code assumes that you have `env` declared previously in the file as your Jinja2 Environment instance. In `settings.py`, you should set KEEP_DJANGO_TEMPLATES = ( '/django/contrib/', ) so that your Django admin still works. You can also set any other places that you do want to use Django templates there.

dumpdata/loaddata with MySQL and ForeignKeys, as django command

Based on [http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/662/](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/662/) and updated to be runnable as custom django management command. Also added option support for --exclude=someapp --exclude=otherapp.SomeModel From original description: InnoDB tables within MySQL have no ability to defer reference checking until after a transaction is complete. This prevents most dumpdata/loaddata cycles unless the dump order falls so that referenced models are dumped before models that depend on them. Caveats 1. You use this snippet to dump the data and the built in manage.py loaddata to load the fixture output by this program. A similar solution could be applied to the XML processing on the loaddata side but this sufficed for my situations. 2. This code does not handle Circular or self-references. The loaddata for those needs to be much smarter
