Get the cms up to the point of rendering a template

cms/envs/common.py

+"""
+This is the common settings file, intended to set sane defaults. If you have a
+piece of configuration that's dependent on a set of feature flags being set,
+then create a function that returns the calculated value based on the value of
+MITX_FEATURES[...]. Modules that extend this one can change the feature
+configuration in an environment specific config file and re-calculate those
+values.
+
+We should make a method that calls all these config methods so that you just
+make one call at the end of your site-specific dev file to reset all the
+dependent variables (like INSTALLED_APPS) for you.
+
+Longer TODO:
+1. Right now our treatment of static content in general and in particular
+   course-specific static content is haphazard.
+2. We should have a more disciplined approach to feature flagging, even if it
+   just means that we stick them in a dict called MITX_FEATURES.
+3. We need to handle configuration for multiple courses. This could be as
+   multiple sites, but we do need a way to map their data assets.
