Deploying django under a sub-URL with Nginx/Fastcgi

I can't for the life of me figure out how to deploy a django site under a non-root location with Nginx/fastcgi, e.g. http://localhost:8080/myproject/ instead of http://localhost:8080/; all the examples I have seen either assume Apache or mounting at the root of the site. Here's the relevant part of my nginx.conf:

server {
    listen 8080;
    server_name localhost;

    location /myproject/ {
        # host and port to fastcgi server
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:3030;

        fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
        fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

        #fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO          $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
        fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;

        fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
        fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
    }
}

And a minimal urls.py:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^hello$', lambda request: HttpResponse('Hello world!')),

)

Trying to access http://localhost:8080/myproject/hello gives a 404. I've tried unsuccessfully all combinations of:

Commenting/uncommenting fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
Commenting/uncommenting fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
Setting FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME = '/myproject/' in settings.py.
