OK .. I dislike that approach  but I guess I can live with it.
It does bring up a few other questions:

How do I deploy my store?

   1- Have a separate local_settings?

   2- Deploy without a local_settings?

   3- Edit local_settings and/or settings to deploy?

local_settings has
   LOCAL_DEV = True
Would I ever want to set LOCAL_DEV to False?

Shouldn't settings set the CACHE_  variables?

How about TEMPLATE_DIRS ?

Why does DIRNAME get redefined in local_settings?

Thanks for the tutorial
Karl
