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

"""
Pages in Django can are served up with custom HTTP headers containing useful
information about those pages -- namely, the content type and object ID.

This module contains utility functions for retrieving and doing interesting
things with these special "X-Headers" (so called because the HTTP spec demands
that custom headers are prefixed with "X-").

Next time you're at slashdot.org, watch out for X-Fry and X-Bender. :)
