[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circ Modifier Count Groups

[Thomas Berezansky]

I can hope, can't I? (Since I am the one that did that)

In truth, it was mainly due to repeated comments from Dan Scott that  
none of my new feature branches were showing up on his "need to be  
looked at for the next 2.2 release" list of bugs. So I hit all of my  
new feature branches with that milestone.
