[Koha] Mass Updating Patrons

[David Schuster]

I want to load "new" users - This is how I update our students on a regular
basis.  I have some development in the works for this to be run as a cron
job where it would "regularly" go out and pull in a file and process it so I
don't have to do this manually.
