Description: Horizon is a Django application for providing Openstack UI
components. It allows performing site administrator (viewing account resource
usage, configuring users, accounts, quotas, flavors, etc.) and end user
operations (start/stop/delete instances, create/restore snapshots, view
instance VNC console, etc.)

The package also contains an openstack-dashboard subpackage, which is some
themeing and javascript around horizon that makes up the Openstack web UI
reference implementation.

Some notes on current package state:

1) Deps like python-quantumclient and python-keystoneclient are in git and
built, but not in rawhide as of this writing. A mock build will fail

2) An upstream patch is provided that removes the openstackx python module
dependency: this missed the upstream release by a day.

3) A patch is included to remove a hard requirement on the unpackaged
django-nose, which is only used for horizon tests.

4) The package works if you use a django style manage.py script, and the
httpd+wsgi integration allows the dashboard to start up, but I can't log in.
Some debugging shows that we are successfully authenticating, but it seems like
the code is reinvoked several times which stomps our http_session ID and and
horizon forgets about our authentication before we can advance to the next
screen. I'll be debugging this further but figured this review can help
parallelize a bit.
