The way I read this is that Django still doesn't support multi-column 
primary keys.  I also found a ticket[1] that is still open regarding 
supporting multi-column primary keys.  I didn't read the ticket 
thoroughly.  Is it true that the Django ORM still can't do multi-column 
primary keys?

Joshua, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you were referring to 
being able to handle multi-column primary keys in your question, no?
