[Koha] Printing barcodes

[Ryan Higgins]

The second input method, where you list values to print, offers more
flexibility, including adding static
text strings.  You can get your library's branchcode using the homebranch
descriptor.  It will also accept
a single-quoted string for static text.
example:

label definition:  title, homebranch, 'West Liberty'

should give:
Book Title
WLPL
West Liberty

I do think there is a bug in 3.0RC1 with the 'List Values' entry method,
according to my testing yesterday,
so you may hit some snags in using that entry method in conjunction with CSV
output.  But the functionality
is there.
