I agree that a GUI batch loader would be very helpful.  However,
several libraries need to batch load these patrons on a daily basis,
since students may start programs at various times throughout the
semester.  So the nightly cron job script approach is pretty important
for these cases, and I think it would be nice if there were a more
standard way in Evergreen to do that particular approach.

I'm wondering if we might consider including a very general, flexible
patron batch import/update script in the support-scripts directory.
Thoughts?
