Comment:
The latest (and hopefully last) patch doesn't use settings anymore.
Instead it uses a single environment variable holding the default address
'localhost:8081'. To override that default address, one can pass the
`--liveserver` option to the '`manage.py test`' command.
By the way, I've figured out why a missing STATIC_URL used to cause the
test to freeze. It was because the generated exception didn't bubble up to
the main thread, which in turn could not release the live server's socket.
It is still worth leaving the safety shutdown mechanism for the case where
the user has an infinite loop in their views though. This is now all fixed
and tested in the new patch.
