Profiles should be extensible without having to fork the Profiles app

[GoogleCodeExporter]

= What steps will reproduce the problem? =

1. Start a new Pinax project
2. Customer wants more data inserted into the user profile
3. Now you have to fork the profiles application

= What is the expected output? What do you see instead? =

It would be really nice if we could have either admin-defined fields or
perhaps a stock way of extending the pinax profiles application - perhaps
something called profiles-extension which would be just for holding project
specific models and new views. The Pinax profiles application would
introspect this extension and work with it somehow.

= What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? =

Pinax 0.7 trunk on Mac/Linux

Some example fields that would be nice to see addable:

 * first_name (works of django User)
 * last_name  (works of django User)
 * Title
 * Room
 * Phone
