[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Merging Patrons

[Brandon W. Uhlman]

Hi, all.

Is there a best practice for merging two patron accounts which, in  
actuality, represent the same person? I took a look around docgen.xsl  
for an OpenSRF method that obviously exposed such functionality, but  
nothing seemed apparent.

If there's nothing extant, I could through down some thoughts on the  
process, get some feedback, and see if I could implement something  
OpenSRF-y that would allow us to expose the process to the user --  
either staff, or the enduser, depending on feedback.
