Description

Attached patch allows us to easy make "multiple themed" site with fallback to default theme if current doesn't have requested template. Unit tests OK.

Example code:

cw = RequestContext(request, {
    'base_template': [ 'mytheme/b.html', 'default/b.html' ]
})
res = Template("""
{% extends base_template %}
{% block abc %}some content{% endblock %}
{% block content %}some other content{% endblock %}'
""", cw)

It strikes me that this is something that should be handled by a fallback in the template directories, not in the template/context itself. This is the way that the admin allows you to override admin base templates with local themes/customizations.
