Migrate to v0.3

On version v0.3 we changed the curency name length from 25 to 50 and we adopted south for the schema migrations.

If you have installed django-currency-rates version v0.1 or v0.2 and want to migrate, first you have to install South update the django-currency-rates app and then you have to execute the first migration as fake with

./manage.py migrate currency_rates 0001_initial --fake
./manage.py migrate currency_rates
