GSOC: Turn contrib.admin into a customizable management interface

Discussing on #django-dev with FunkyBob and others I concluded that refactoring contrib.admin to become a generic management interface (and not a model-centric one as it is now) could be a good thing, so I started a project proposal. It still a draft and I hope to complete it in time, anyway I w
