[patch] TemplateDoesNotExist on Windows

[garth@…]

I just set up a project using the latest copy from the repository, and my settings/admin.py's TEMPLATE_DIRS ended up containing someth

'C:\dev\django-svn runk\django\conf/admin_templates',

where the spaces indicate an actual tab. Oops! Replacing the line with

r'C:\dev\django-svn\trunk\django\conf\admin_templates',

fixed the problem.
