The 'user' context variable is provided by 'DjangoContext' (more
specifically, by one of the 'processors' that DjangoContext uses:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#subclassing-context-djangocontext )
DjangoContext is used by all the generic views (including flatpage). If
you want it in your own views, just use DjangoContext instead of
Context, passing the 'request' object into the DjangoContext
constructor.
render_to_response('template', context_instance=DjangoContext(request))
