Michael, you can choose which fields are mandatory in the
BorrowerMandatoryField syspref, cardnumber is mandatory by default.

So with this patch if you activate autoMemberNum then you need to remove
cardnumber form BorrowerMandatoryField. I would say either we just add it in
the text that goes with the syspref :
"Do / Don't default the card number field on the patron addition screen to the
next available card number (for example, if the largest currently used card
number is 26345000012941, then this field will default to 26345000012942).
++Remember to remove cardnumber from the BorrowerMandatoryField syspref if you
switch this on++",
 or we remove it from BorrowerMandatoryField's default value (i think this
would be a bad idea), or we find a way to bypass the mandatory behaviour on
this field when autoMemberNum is on (This sounds like a complicated idea).

I'll sign this off for now, and leave it to the QA team to decide wether we
need to add something to make things clearer.
