Currently, the circulation interface is console-based, not web-based, if
I'm not mistaken.  My work with Koha currently involves extracting the
non-interface specific code out of the current console interface code. 
I'm doing this so that I can develop a tk-perl interface (which scratches
my particular itch), but it could also be used to develop a web
circulation interface, or a java circulation interface (also run through a
web client).
