   django/trunk/tests/runtests.py
Log:
Removed the need for ROOT_URLCONF in settings when running Django's core tests
(via runtests.py). It was embarrassing having to explain the need for it to
people, since we ignore whatever setting is passed in.

 Yes, the unit tests need a settings module, but only for database connection
-info, with the ``DATABASE_ENGINE`` setting. You'll also need a ``ROOT_URLCONF``
-setting (its value is ignored; it just needs to be present).
+info, with the ``DATABASE_ENGINE`` setting.
 
 If you're using the ``sqlite3`` database backend, no further settings are
 needed. A temporary database will be created in memory when running the tests.
