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...
