This isn't overridable by local_settings; the dependent settings will be 
generated before local_settings provides the new definition of ROOT_DIR.

If you're happy with that behaviour (that the user needs to change the value 
here, rather than in local_settings.py), then I'll remove this comment and 
commit. Otherwise, we'll have to think up some way of allowing a later over-
ride.

Cheers,


Jeremy
