Description
Subsumes #746.
Allows mutually referential models. The string name is used as an argument to the ForeignKey.
Most field special casing in meta/init.py is moved to individual fields.
I think it should go in the "messing with models" branch.

Thanks for this, rjwittams. My plan is to explore the patch and eventually apply it to trunk. But the removing-magic stuff will definitely get its own branch.

This is working in magic-removal.

for help on using tickets.
this patch looks pretty self contained, and is backward compatible isn't it?
I mean..joe coder will not have to change 1 thing in his code if this patch went into the main branch.
the messing with models branch is about a much larger, incompatible change.
I vote stick it in the main branch, and fix the bugs IF they come.
I've been using #746 for months now with no problems.
