Description
Shortly after SimpleListFilter landed in [16144], there were talks on IRC with jezdez, carljm and apollo13 about allowing filter lookups to be based on the available data. Taking the DecadeBornListFilter example from the doc (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_filter), you might want to only display the lookups for the decades where people were actually born in. This requires the lookups() method to have access to the ModelAdmin's queryset, somehow.
I'm attaching a patch with a suggested implementation.

This looks pretty reasonable and useful to me, as far as the API addition goes. Couple minor typos in the docs portion of the patch: "ModelAdmin objects" where it should be "ModelAdmin object", and one case of books_90s that should be born_in_90s.
