project templates

As of Django 1.5, you can install the templates included in mirskutils by specifying:

django-admin.py startproject --template=<python env>/lib/python2.7/site-packagse/mirskutils/conf/project_template MyProjectName

Each project comes with one or more requirements.txt file depending on which packages you might need; it can be found under the conf subdirectory.
