Django is deprecating the project as a locale search path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using rosetta 0.6.0 on Django 1.3 with Linux

According to the django docs 
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/i18n/#using-translations-in-your-ow
n-projects) the $PROJECTPATH/locale/ search path is deprecated. As such, I 
imagine it's possible that this search path will vanish at some point.

Because of this I've made sure that I set up LOCALE_PATHS in my settings to 
point to $PROJECTPATH/locale. Unfortunately, this means rosetta picks up my 
locale directory twice.

I think it does this as I have a symlink to /var/local/django/project_timestamp 
from /var/local/django/project_name (we have many builds so branching the code 
into timestamped directories and symlinking back to the current one is sensible 
in our set up). Rosetta picks up the symlink directory name as one of the 
projects and the real directory (the timestamped directory) as another project.

This means that on the language selection page we see something like:

English (United States)
Application             Progress ....
ProjectName             0.00%
ProjectName_datetime    0.00%

French
Application             Progress ....
ProjectName             39.00%
ProjectName_datetime    0.00%

Would it be possible to provide a choice to weather or not you want to allow 
the deprecated $PROJECTPATH/locale/ followed? Or some sort of detection to see 
if the directory already exists in LOCALE_PATHS before adding it?
