6080	Document the possibility of using egg-files for apps / reintroduce support for setuptools to continue the reusable apps GSoC project	Jannis Leidel	Jannis Leidel	"Setuptools' pkg_resources allows module loading from egg-files, which is also applicable for Django apps. The attached code enables Django to load apps from locations defined in a APP_DIRS list. All modules having the entry_point defined in APP_ENTRY_POINT (default: django.apps) found in these directories are automatically loaded and added to the INSTALLED_APPS list.

Please keep in mind to use the 'django.template.loaders.eggs.load_template_source' in TEMPLATE_LOADERS to load templates from eggs.
