[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] apostrophe in title search causing problems(Bug #744513)

[Thomas Berezansky]

MVLC uses git to maintain a branch specifically for changes to the  
default skin. We thus use default with those changes. Might  
documenting how we are (or rather, I am) doing this be of benefit?

Note that we have an easier time of this, as we install off of git,  
not off of tarballs.
