Description
MySQL has a 64 bit character limit when naming schema elements. With longer schema names, we potentially generate the same schema name more than once which causes mysql to raise a 1061 error.
It would be nice if South didn't generate the migration, and could allow us a chance to rename tables.

What version is this against? The development version has a new schema namer that takes this into account and uses a hash of the columns squeezed into the end of the 64 chars.
