[patch] new command for management -- runjobs

[ian@…]

some of my applications require maintenance tasks run on them at defined periods,
to do things like emailing out reminders, archiving and things like that.

so instead of creating a whole slew of cronjobs, and then providing install instructions etc etc etc for each one,

I thought running a single command might be better, and could possibly become part of the default django install instructions

$ django-admin runjobs daily
would run all the scheduled 'daily' jobs that the apps have defined.

The would define this by listening for the run_daily_jobs signal in their management.py file.
