Request to support third party Storage Backend without making new migration files

[linghu-chong]

I am using amazon s3 as a file storage backend. It requires me to generate a migration file in the systems' python library directory. This is not elegant.

from django.db import migrations, models
import avatar.models
import storages.backends.s3boto


class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        ('avatar', '0001_initial'),
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.AlterField(
            model_name='avatar',
            name='avatar',
            field=models.ImageField(storage=storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage(), max_length=1024, upload_to=avatar.models.avatar_path_handler, blank=True),
        ),
    ]

This would be really helpful if supported. I'm using Amazon S3.

This is probably related to #167

This is now controlled by settings.AVATAR_STORAGE. If the issue has not been fixed entirely, please reopen.
