On bug 11046 I proposed to sort e.g. 19xx with 1900. This relates to the
kohafield copyrightdate used to sort lists and in reports.
For search results, the sort on publication date depends on pubdate as indexed
by Zebra. If we add uncertain years like 19xx or better 19uu in the MARC21 008,
they will be sorted after 1999 (current situation).

We could add a "fix_008" in rebuild_zebra (just as a few other fixes already
there) and replace 19uu by 1900 when indexing in order to get 19xx sorted with
1900.

What do you think ?
