Deploying relocatable Django sites isn't currently as trivial as it should be (see http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8906, http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/tree/browse_frm/thread/fa3661888716f940/). This snippet relocates all url patterns (similarly to http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2129/) as well as the absolute url settings of settings.py.

This allows deployment under a different mount point with a single Django setting, without having to repeat the mount point again as a SCRIPT_NAME parameter supplied by the web server.
