[Koha] 001 control number

[Brian Harrington]

I was actually planning on asking a very similar question to John's. 
Right now, all of the calls in Biblio.pm are based on biblionumber.  We're 
currently working in a hybrid situation where I would like to use the 
Koha API get information from records based on our item ID, which I was 
planning on storing in 001, where such things normally go.  The idea of 
having to first search the MARC for my unique ID to get the biblionumber 
that I need for GetBiblio or ModBiblio seems wasteful.  Would it actually 
break anything to map biblionumber to 001?
