manage.py makemessages not working

[Horst Gutmann <zerok@…>]

When executing the new ( #5522 ) makemessages command using manage.py, I receive a runtime error indicating that settings are initialized twice:

$ python manage.py makemessages -a
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>

RuntimeError: Settings already configured.

Attached is a small patch that's supposed to solve this and still work with django-admin.py :-)

I can confirm this, must have slipped through, d'oh.

(In [7848]) Fixed #7643 -- Fixed an oversight from [7844].

Now makemessages works in projects again. Based on a patch from Horst Gutmann.
