Explicitly setting 'created' date for initial user import from legacy application

Hi all,

I need to explicitly set the created date for users when saving them during an initial import process from a legacy user table. I am using a legacy DB model and trasnforming the models and saving the new user obects. I only need to override the default create behaviour for this one import task, after that I want it to behave normally, so not sure if overriding the model save function in the model definition is appropriate.

I guess I could generate a fixture file and use call_command(loaddata...) to import the users and bypass the default save, but this seems nasty. Is there a better way?
