           Summary: Use the "sort bin" field in SIP2 Checkin Response

The SIP2 Checkin Response (10) can have a "variable-length optional field" for
"sort bin", labelled "CL". In the description of the SIP2 protocol, this field
is described as follows: 

"sort bin - CL - variable-length field. This field should contain a bin number
that indicates how the items should be sorted. The maximum practical number of
sort bins for a patron using 3M SelfCheck system is probably only 3 or 4, but
many digits are allowed to accommodate some sort of fantastic sorting device
using a hierarchical bin numbering scheme."

I have a customer who wants to use this field to display messages on the screen
of self service machines that tell users to put items in a separate bin based
on itemtype, location etc. 

The idea is to add a syspref that can contain something like this:

itemtype:ILL:1
location:CLOSEDSTACKS:2

- The first field is an item field. 
- The second field is a value to look for in the given item field
- The third field is the value given to the CL field in the SIP2 Checkin
Response if the value in the second field matches the item on hand. 

It should also be possible to set the CL field for items that need to be
transferred after they have been returned, that is for items that are returned
at another library than the homebranch. This will probably be another syspref.
If the returned item needs to be transferred to the homebranch, CL is set to
the value of the syspref.
