Fake File Uploads

In-browser testing frameworks (I'm using [Windmill](http://www.getwindmill.com/)) have trouble testing file uploads because javascript's security policy prevents them from setting the value of file input fields. Instead the tests must issue some sort of "fake" file upload request, but implementing this on an ad-hoc basis quickly gets ugly. This middleware is designed to support fake file uploads as transparently and as thoroughly as possible. For example, it is careful to properly trigger any file upload handlers so that things like upload progress reporting will work correctly. It can also simulate a slow file upload by sleeping between reads from the file. From the client-side point of view, each input field of type "file" has a similarly-named hidden field automatically prepended. Test scripts can simply set the value of this hidden field to trigger a fake upload, rather than having to set the value of the file input field itself.

Pre-delete signal function for deleting files a model

This snippit is meant to be used with the pre_delete signal to delete any files associated with a model instance before the instance is deleted. It will search the model instance for fields that are subclasses of FieldFile, and then delete the corresponding files. As such, it will work with any model field that is a subclass of FileField.
