Attached is the diff against the 1.4.0 branch.

I've never even looked into the org settings interface, but to aid in 
that, of the 5 new settings noted in Const.pm, 4 are simple flags 
considered true on a defined non-zero value, the fifth 
(max_accept_return_of_lost) a date interval from the original due date 
(e.g. "1 year", "180 days", etc.).

Because the item status Lost message is already coming up, I hadn't 
considered additional messages, as I expected staff to be familiar with 
their policies and what should be happening at that point.  Maybe I'm 
optimistic.  The bill value does populate at checkin, but again, with no 
details as to what was happening behind the scenes.
