Sphinx build cannot import setup_environ (deprecated in 1.6)

[jtakayama]

The Sphinx build fails in Django 1.6 because setup_environ cannot be imported. django.core.management.setup_environ was removed in 1.6 (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/deprecation/#id3).

This bug occurs in Vagrant (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS virtual machine) and on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS virtual machine.

This may be related to the latest version of http://makahiki.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation-makahiki-vagrant-configuration-vagrant.html pushed in merge #579 not appearing in the documentation after the merge.

Example output:

vagrant@precise32:/vagrant/doc$ make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees   . _build/html
Making output directory...
Running Sphinx v1.1.3

Exception occurred:
  File "/vagrant/doc/conf.py", line 350, in 
    from django.core.management import setup_environ
ImportError: cannot import name setup_environ
The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-JZBJ_3.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time.

fixed the conf.py to use the django models.meta.fields instead of _fields()
