Comment:
So the problem with this patch, Karen, is that if you call `django-
admin.py --settings=foo` (for appropriate value of "foo") ''and'' you have
`DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` set to something else, the settings used and the
environment variable end up being different, because the latter doesn't
get set appropriately. That will lead to very difficult to diagnose bugs
down the track when something only reads the environment variable for some
reason (I don't know what that would be, but when it happens, it will be
very weird behaviour). We've tried hard to always keep the environment
variable synchronised.
So we have to find a way to set it properly here. This looks like a bug,
but the solution needs a different touch (and I'm not going to work out
what that is right now, because it's nap time).
