Paul,


You don't need any special configured branches to use this feature.  All it
does is move the AutomaticItemReturn system preference to a branch/itemtype
level.  This allows you to specify whether certain kinds of materials (like
DVDs) return to either the homebranch or holdingbranch, or, for cheap
paperbacks not worth the transportation costs, if they "float" (which means
remain at the branch at which they were returned).

A NULL value in the returnbranch field of the circ rules, or in fact any value
that's not "homebranch" or "holdingbranch", will result in the item floating. 
We hardcode "noreturn" in the system preferences to be explicit, but if
somewhere we to manually edit the data or some error were to creep in, that's
what the system would default to.

This code interacts with Branch Transfer Limits the exact same way that
AutomaticItemReturn did; again, this just moves the logic from a global syspref
to a branch/itemtype configurable rule.
