Basically you create a manipulator class inherited from an automatic 
manipulator of a model. It will create all the needed FormFields based 
on model's fields in `self.fields` list. Then you can:

- add your own fields to this list
- change existing fields
- remove existing fields
- overwrite common manipulator methods `flatten_data`, 
`get_validation_errors`, `save`

The main point of such exercises is to get ready-made FormFields if you 
already have a model defining them. If your form looks like a union of 
many models or just a custom set of fields this approach won't gain you 
much.

To not invent an artificial example could you describe your task in more 
detail?
