[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] patron self-registration

[Bill Ott]

Beyond a custom form gathering a few extra bits of information, today 
we're using most of the stock self-reg code.

We do run a query from cron to clean up leftover users after 30 days, 
but that's about it.

I think the only do's/don'ts came down to making sure that staff asked 
patrons if they had already pre-registered.  Initially we ended up with 
a fair number of users in the staging tables and the live user tables, 
until it became something staff were more familiar with using.
