I like all this. > We then (dun dun duuuun) introduce a setting > PROJECT_CONFIG = 'django.project.ProjectConfig' which you can then set > yourself if you want to do a more procedural approach. But I think this may be backwards; I prefer the idea of creating a ProjectConfig yourself (via any method you like, you may not need to use a settings module at all; you could totally get rid of DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE if you want) and passing it as an optional argument to django.setup().
