Description
ForeignKey's formfield() function, which returns the Field for a newforms.Form created by form_for_model or form_for_instance, does not filter the options by limit_choices_to.
i've attached a patch to fix that.
(i'd like to do a bit of advertising here for bug #2445 or #1891, whose target group should be roughly the same as for this bug)

This also needs to be fixed on the rest of the related fields in related.py (ManyToManyField for instance).

Wondering how this will fit in with the newforms-admin branch. Is limit_choices_to on death row by any chance?

Skipped the validation for reasons pointed out in http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/f5808692c7e1186d

The most recent patch was mostly correct. I've updated it with a minor correction, so it should be good to go now.

I guess this is more incentive to switch to NFA.
updated patch that also changes newforms' model.py to respect the limited choices in clean()
