Specifying modelform meta field as get_user_model() in 1.7

Hi,

I'm working on porting our codebase to django 1.7, and we use a custom user model. For that, we need to override the user creation and password reset forms. 

For the form's Meta class, we have

class Meta:
    model = get_user_model()

where get_user_model is imported form django.contrib.auth. Because of changes made in 1.7, that can no longer be called at import time because the app registry is not ready. The troubleshooting section of the 1.7 update notes suggests using settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL instead, however that doesn't work in this case, as far as I can tell. 

The only workaround I have come up with is simply to directly reference the custom user model. This will probably work fine for us, but it seems like it could cause problems for libraries, since they wont know what the custom model is. Is there a workaround for this? I'm not sure if I am just missing something.

thanks
