Discussed this with Martin, an option would perhaps have it be a "scheduled
job" (think background jobs, but scheduled to run at a specific given time
instead of whenever possible), but I don't think we're there yet.

Brainstorm idea, but if a hold is placed today and no library is open today,
why not have RTHoldsQueue check tomorrow? and the day after that, and so on,
until it finds a suitable one? (within a sensible limit) That's what would
happen anyway through the cron, right? Maybe we'd have to add a way of flagging
the hold that it can't be satisfied immediately as the library is closed but it
could show the hold as "pre-allocated". 
This may not be a great idea, but let me know what the problems are with it as
I lack the hold queues workflow knowledge required to see it.
