Attached is a patch for setup_environ(). This method should allow users to
use a arbitrary settings module/package from sys.path, thus preserving the ability
to overrides any app-specific settings.

No, I think this would be a bit of a dangerous change, since it would leave the environment variable and the settings in use out of synchronisation and that will lead to difficult to reproduce bugs. If your code uses the environment variable, you should make sure to call setup_environ() with the value of the environment variable.
