  similar to one created by the regular djangoforms.ModelFormMetaclass.

  it's 'dynaconf' field will be used to define additional properties

  in the form class.

  The 'dynaconf' field (if present), is expected to be iterable as a

  dictionary (with iteritems). The keys are used as the property names,

  and the values are used as the property value.
