* Rearranged 'in a nutshell' usage docs to clarify app-dirs vs STATICFILES_DIRS, initially focus on the simplest path to working local dev, and remove the need for repetitive 'you don't need this in local dev' notes.
* Added docs on using staticfiles serve view for non-staticfiles (e.g. user-uploaded files).

* Two new global settings that will be used by -- **but are not limited to** -- the staticfiles app: STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL.
* Moving the 'django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles' template tag to the core ('django.templatetags.static') and renaming it to 'get_static_prefix'.
* Moving the context processor 'django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles' to the core ('django.core.context_processors.static') and renaming it to 'static'.
* Paths in media definitions will use STATIC_URL as the prefix if the value is not None, and falls back to the previously used MEDIA_URL.
Thanks again to the community for constructive criticism and Carl and Russ for sanity-inducing discussions on IRC.

* Updated StaticFilesHandler and AdminMediaHandler
to make use of the 404 handler if needed.
* Updated runserver management command to serve static files
only in DEBUG mode (or if specified the --insecure option)
and if the staticfiles app is in INSTALLED_APPS. Also added
an option to disable serving completely (--nostatic).
* Added check in debug mode if STATICFILES_* settings are
different to MEDIA_* settings.
* Removed a faulty PendingDeprecationWarning in AdminMediaHandler
that is triggered every time runserver is used.
* Fixed an issue with the modification time checks when
running collectstatic.
* Extended and refined documentation.
Thanks to everyone for input, especially to Carl Meyer, Ted Kaemming and
Adam Vandenberg for patches.

Turns out that when you write documentation without actually consulting the code
you get things wrong. Who knew?
Thanks to Waldemar Kornewald for catching my mistake.

Also documented the change. We prefer to load directory_index.html for static
directory listings, but if you have the (older style) "directory_index"
template and no .html version, we'll load that. This should stop a bunch of
mysterious breakages when people upgrade to Django 1.0.3 or Django 1.1. Also
keeps the docs in sync with released code.
Fixed #9993.
