This commit adds new configuration parameter, THEME_CSS_OVERRIDES, which can contain a sequence (list, tuple, etc) of URLs to extra stylesheets that will be used to override default theme appearance. Both absolute and relative URLs are supported. It makes the theme more flexible by allowing small stylesheet tweaks without requiring to maintain a fork of the whole theme. When this parameter is not set the theme behaves same as before.
