The attached patch makes it even easier to serve static files from the most common use-case of MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL.

Latest version makes it easy to test against any setting rather than just DEBUG (I've seen ​an example using a LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT setting)

Not going to take this. We might add a commented out pattern for using the static server to the default project.
