ByWater Solutions is being asked to look into batch patron modification,
based on some of the work Kyle Hall has done.  I'm not sure if we've gotten
the bug report filed yet, but I wanted to be sure to communicate that others
have interest in such a tool, and effort is being put towards getting it
integrated.

Cheers,
