A management command for per-application index rebuild

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to get a management command which would rebuild the Djapian index 
for one or several applications (by name) like:

$ ./manage.py reindexapp app1 [app2 app3]

I wrote an initial version already, but I'd like to discuss the command's name 
and (possible) parameters before checking in the code.

I think it will be better to add per-application logic directly to `index` 
command instead of introduce another one.

Second, there is the "index space" concept and may be this task can be done 
with per-space logic. Your ideas?

I'm OK with extending `index` command instead of adding a new one.

As for index spaces, as a generic Django user I used to think in terms of 
applications and models, so I do think it's worth following the standard Django 
commands way of working "widespread for the site" and "for given applications".

We could extend the `index` command to manage spaces with `--space` option if 
that will be required sometime. I wouldn't do it right now though.

Does it make sense for you?

In r367 the `index` command has been extended to support per-application index 
update/rebuild.
