Extend taggable-mixin to support different Tag models. Usage is pretty simple. Tag model is default in Taggable constructor but you can call it with different model like GHOPTaskType that inherits from Tag model. Both Taggable and Tag models have been updated and they don't use hardcoded Tag model anymore and instead use cls of class methods or self.__class__. In case of Taggable it's self.__tag_model.

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.
