92: Require django 0.96 (latest release version)

I would *LOVE* to use review board, but it requires a version of django
which isn't out yet (0.97). I use Ubuntu, and would like to avoid manually
manage the python-django package. With that in mind, how much work would it
be to make review board require >=0.96 instead of 0.97? I would do this
myself... but I've never used Python, never mind django, so I don't even
know how to estimate the effort to do this.

Thanks,

The EmailMessage stuff we're using needs svn, unfortunately.  Working around this
would mean a big step backwards in terms of our email support and unit-testing
abilities.  You can probably avoid having to deal with manually managing the
python-django package if you install django-svn into a local path which appears first
in your PYTHONPATH.

Hopefully django 0.97 will be released soonish so we can all avoid having to deal
with manually installing it.

Thank you for your fast feedback! I'll try doing the PYTHONPATH trick (again, never
used Python, so this is all new and awesome) - I can't wait until django 0.97 comes
out :-)
