Maybe the "Hints" section in /admin/systempreferences.pl could be
updated to show that - as well as "acquisitions" and "autoBarcode"
options.

I assume that turning on "autoBarcode" will automagically generate a new
barcode for new acquisitions... maybe the same hooks could be used to
replace current (shonky) barcode generation method in addbook*.pl?
