Adds to Melange a tags framework based on taggable-mixin. The taggable-mixin allowed only tag per Datastore model. This is extended framework allows any arbitrary number of tags per Datastore model. Also, now one can define different models for different Tag types which are all inherited from the base Tag model provided by taggable-mixin. The GHOPTask model makes use of 2 tags per model, one for difficulty and the other for task_type, both using the tags framework. Reviewed by: Paweł Sołyga

def add_postgis_srs(srs):
    """
    This function takes a GDAL SpatialReference system and adds its
    information to the PostGIS `spatial_ref_sys` table -- enabling
    spatial transformations with PostGIS.  This is handy for adding
    spatial reference systems not included by default with PostGIS.  
    For example, the following adds the so-called "Google Maps Mercator 
    Projection" (available in GDAL 1.5):
    
    >>> add_postgis_srs(SpatialReference(900913))

    Note: By default, the `auth_name` is set to 'EPSG' -- this should
    probably be changed.
