**NOTE REGARDING MySQL:**
If you use MySQL, with most default configurations you will receive an error
when creating the database tables as we populate a number of default templates
in languages other than English.
You must create the database the holds the django-helpdesk tables using the
UTF-8 collation; see the MySQL manual for more information:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-database.html
If you do NOT do this step, and you only want to use English-language templates,
you can continue however you will receive a warning when running the 'migrate'
commands.
