Thanks!

I remain -1 on CWD pollution by default; I haven't yet seen any
arguments in favor of it that I find even slightly convincing.

As we just discussed on IRC, I'd be happier to have an optional second
argument to startproject, if this is really an issue. If two arguments
were given, the first would be the containing directory name (which
could also be "."), and the second the package name. (Could also do it
in the other order, but I think putting the containing directory first
feels more natural, as it's "first" in the hierarchy).

I'm also fine with ptone's patch to allow using an existing directory,
which maybe addresses some of the same cases.

I think either one of these should be done as a separate follow-on
patch, though, as I think they are mostly-orthogonal new features for
startproject, not closely related to the purpose of this patch.
