[patch] content types and permissions not populated unless model contains inner Admin class

Description

I've discovered that if your model doesn't have and inner Admin class defined then unless you call ContentType.objects.get_for_model() somewhere in your own code, the content type for that model is never created.

Same goes for permissions. django/contrib/auth/management.py doesn't create perms unless the model has Admin defined.

I found this out when I finally got around to implementing my own views for add/change/delete of a model and when I removed the inner Admin class because I no longer needed it, my views broke after a fresh install because neither perms or content types were being set up.

The following patch fixes this.

regards

Mathew Flanagan
