The venerable CustomImageField, invented by Scott Barnham and rejiggered for newforms-admin by jamstooks.

This here is a stab at a post-Signals-refactor version. Seems to do 'er.

Note: This should be pointless once fs-refactor lands.

KpoH (on August 8, 2008):

this

self.use_key = kwargs.get('use_key', False)
if 'use_key' in kwargs:
    del(kwargs['use_key'])

can be changed to

self.use_key = kwargs.pop('use_key', False)
