* Two new global settings that will be used by -- **but are not limited to** -- the staticfiles app: STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL.
* Moving the 'django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles' template tag to the core ('django.templatetags.static') and renaming it to 'get_static_prefix'.
* Moving the context processor 'django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles' to the core ('django.core.context_processors.static') and renaming it to 'static'.
* Paths in media definitions will use STATIC_URL as the prefix if the value is not None, and falls back to the previously used MEDIA_URL.
Thanks again to the community for constructive criticism and Carl and Russ for sanity-inducing discussions on IRC.

* Updated StaticFilesHandler and AdminMediaHandler
to make use of the 404 handler if needed.
* Updated runserver management command to serve static files
only in DEBUG mode (or if specified the --insecure option)
and if the staticfiles app is in INSTALLED_APPS. Also added
an option to disable serving completely (--nostatic).
* Added check in debug mode if STATICFILES_* settings are
different to MEDIA_* settings.
* Removed a faulty PendingDeprecationWarning in AdminMediaHandler
that is triggered every time runserver is used.
* Fixed an issue with the modification time checks when
running collectstatic.
* Extended and refined documentation.
Thanks to everyone for input, especially to Carl Meyer, Ted Kaemming and
Adam Vandenberg for patches.
