If an item is set to automatically renew, then there should be a
straightforward way to set the value so that it will renew at the end of the
due date.

I have done substantial testing on this but cannot get it to do what I need.

Setting the 'no renewals before' to 1 means that it will renew one day prior to
due date.  Setting it to -1 means that it will renew one day past due date -
i.e. item is overdue.

Setting the value to 0 in the Circulation Policies translates to null when
saved and the 0 is removed.  We established that we could get 0 into the
database by entering 0.001.

However this seems to be ignored as the automatic renewal is happening every
day in the same way that it would if there was no value set in 'no renewal
before'.

We can change the timing of the automatic_renewal.pl script to run at a more
convenient time (e.g. before the overdue processing) but we need the item to be
able to be renewed at the end of its due date - not before and not after.  

This is especially important for items that have rental fees associated with
them.
