Description
This patch improves the bash completion. It calls a python function which uses the get_commands() method to return subcommand suggestions. It also goes through the optparse parser to get option suggestions for a subcommand. There are special cases, like the 'runfcgi' command which uses a python dict to store its options.
This makes it possible to have subcommand completion of 3rd party apps (like django-command-extension).
It's a little hard to explain, so I tried to make a screencast:

Installation hasn't changed, just source the django_bash_completion file from extras/

django_bash_completion.2.diff cleans up the code and resolves some inconsistencies with --help and runfcgi.
