We'll have to think about how to fit the template debugging work I did
in new-admin into this as well

Ooh, this is nice -- I hadn't seen it before. I'll take a look at your code and think about how the two could work together, but to keep SVN conflicts to a minimum I won't actually integrate anything into the trunk. At first glance it looks like the best thing to do would be to make the attributes needed to render this exception into fields on a TemplateError exception which the top-level error handler would notice and treat differently than other error types.

One thing I haven't come up with a satisfactory answer to is where to
put the template for this, and what it should look like - at the moment
it is in the admin app, and uses that layout too.

Maybe we need a "last chance" template loader that will always be added
on the end of TEMPLATE_LOADERS?

Since these error pages need to be available when other things may be broken -- even badly -- I'm routing around TEMPLATE_LOADERS and loading the template files directly using Template(). This means that you don't get to override them, but since they're error pages that are only seen when DEBUG == True I don't see that that's a biggie.

Either way, I'm going to make a few tweaks and check this in later today; feel free to critique my code :)
