--auto changing a field from e.g. a CharField to a ForeignKey fails

[imbaczek@…]

DMBS spits out a 'column not found' error, and rightly so: there's no column named xxx_id if the old column was named xxx. south should either emit a rename_column before alter, or report an error with a hint to change ForeignKey? column name.

So it does. Scheduling for 0.7.

This works now in 0.7 - a rename is issued.
