Comment:
Indeed, the doc promise things that aren't happening in the code...
I've exchanged by email with sam, and another common proposal is just to
have a command parameter that would accept additional template variables.
That's what the attached patch does, with a --add_context parameter
The proposed syntax (documented in the help of the command) is :
{{{
django-admin.py startproject --template=templ/folder/
--add_context=foo:bar,key:value mynewproject
# or abbreviated form
django-admin.py startproject --template=templ/folder/ -a foo:bar,key:value
mynewproject
}}}
The string is parsed and key:values added to the template dict.
Also added the documention modification
