De-coupling settings.py from project

I'm new to Django and trying to create an office intranet web service.
Because I value pragmatic programming, I want to take the time to 'do
it right' and so I'm spending as much time as possible de-coupling the
'django application' from the 'django project' (or 'django site' -
these seem to be synonyms.)

To that end, I've managed to de-couple the urls.py file by using the
url importing system, and the templates by using a template loader.
However, a few settings seem to be impossible to de-couple from the
project to the application.

In particular, I'm having trouble specifying the static content URL
and the fixtures directories at a per-application level rather than in
the project settings.py file.

Is there a way to specify settings like STATIC_URL or FIXTURES_DIRS
per-application rather than per-site? Even better - is there a
mechanism to use a settings.py file in the application rather than in
the site?

Thanks,
eblume
