Comment:
I'm not convinced the approach taken by the patch is correct. auth is
being used here because we need a model on which to invoke shortcut(), and
auth is a generally reliable option.
However, auth isn't always available, so we just need to find a
substitute. Turns out you can actually define a model in tests.py, and
that model will be available during testing, but not in production. This
avoids the need to create a second test module for contenttype tests. It
also provides an opportunity to test aspects of shortcut() that aren't
currently tested -- testing models that *don't* have get_absolute_url
defined.
