Refactor South migration directory to respect custom User models. Backwards compatible with <django 1.5

	# -- coding: utf-8 --
	"""Refactor South migrations to use settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL.
	Inserts a backwards-compatible code-snippet in all
	your schema migration files and uses a possibly customized user
	model as introduced in Django 1.5.

	Please note that this has nothing to do with changing
	settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL to a new model. If you do this, stuff
	will very likely break in reusable apps that have their own
	migration trees.
