10487	Refactor database-backend-selection logic into a function	Adrian Holovaty	nobody	"There's a bunch of logic in {{{django/db/__init__.py}}} that loads the appropriate backend from {{{django.db.backends}}} based on the {{{DATABASE_ENGINE}}} setting. We should put this logic into a function so it can be used by other code.

The specific use-case is multiple-database code that needs to load a separate backend for each database connection.
