[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] patron registration - date of birth

[Ruth Frasur]

Evergreen is an international product.  That format is fairly standard
outside of the U.S. (and in, as well).  Oftentimes, if staff REALLY doesn't
want to use that format, there's a date picker available.  Not always, but
often.
