make django-cms play nice with django-multisite

django-multisite is an app that makes it possible to run multiple different domains mapped to different django.contrib.sites.Site with one django process.

It does this through a middleware that dynamically sets settings.SITE_ID.

cms.urls fetches the list of Apphooks at import time and then caches the result in the urls.py module. This is a problem when the SITE_ID changes in a later request.

Current workaround:

• create a copy of cms.urls once per site
• copy your root urls.py once per site. in it replace the url import for cms.urls with the copy.
• add a custom middleware that sets request.urlconf and applyies set_urlconf() per domain
• make a pr for django-multisite for a default implementation of the root_urlconf setting
• make django-cms not rely on SITE_ID at import time. instead it should use the threadlocal site made available by set_urlconf()
• make cms.middleware.utils.ApphookReloadMiddleware work as expected with multiple root urls

@rodolfomartinez have a look at this https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-multisite (repo, packaging etc it’s still totally to be defined) @stefanfoulis @divio/django-cms-core do you think should stay as an addon?
