Comment (by Kronuz):
There are problems some times when you need to import the `UserTemplate`
(circular imports) ...for this reason, I split the file to put the models
in a new file called `base.py` (perhaps `abstract.py` could be a better
name) and left the `model.py` file to be only for the creation of the
default `User` from the template, or loading of the custom `User` model
class from some other module (as set up in `AUTH_USER_MODULE`, which
should be a string in the form: `custom_auth.models.User`) The custom user
model could (and maybe should) have the abstract
`contrib.auth.base.UserTemplate` model as its base. I believe we could
also have a `BaseUserAbstractModel` in addition to (or instead of)
`UserTemplate.
I'm attaching the patch now.
