Add manage.py and settings files.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Include manage.py and settings.py so that it is easier to run djangoforums
as a standalone project. It's also nicer to develop with (imo).

The settings-customize.py and local_settings-customize.py files are meant
to be copied and renamed (to settings.py and local_settings.py). With these
additions it's possible to do that copying, set database settings, add a
forum in admin and immediately have a working site. Or it will be once I
submit a patch for the URLs.

I should mention that part of the idea in having people rename the files is so 
that
it's seamless when working with Subversion. If you don't care about that 
(please do!)
then you obviously wouldn't need the -customize suffix.

I'm -1 on that. The django-forum is a Django application, not a project. It is 
supposed to be pluggable to an existing project.

What we can do is to have a wiki page, describing how to create a simple forum 
website from scratch using django-forum.

As per the previous comment, this is an application rather than a project. 

It's designed to be used with existing Django projects. It's very rare that you 
would
use _only_ the forum app and no others (eg no flatpages, no admin, etc...)

I won't be implementing this.
