Description
When using the RequiredIfOtherFieldEquals on a Boolean field, the form field want's 'on' for True instead of True
For instance
blog_url = meta.URLField(verbose_name="Blog url",null=True,blank=True,
validator_list=[validators.RequiredIfOtherFieldEquals("has_blog",True,"You must provide a Blog url")])
doesn't work where as:
blog_url = meta.URLField(verbose_name="Blog url",null=True,blank=True,
validator_list=[validators.RequiredIfOtherFieldEquals("has_blog",'on',"You must provide a Blog url")])
does. This seems a little counter-intuitive

Validators work on unprocessed HTML input. A checkbox from an HTML form comes in "on" and not-"on" varieties, not True and False. So the validator is working correctly.
