Checked the src and it's the case that the 'any options' means the ones available to the command. I could see an additional context option being useful. I'm thinking a good way to go about this would be passing a path to a config file that can be consumed by ConfigParser:
django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/boilerplate --template-context=options.conf myproject opions.conf: [options] compass coffee js_dir=javascripts css_dir=sass Only issue is ConfigParser expects a section header which isn't necessary here...
