Edit additem.pl below the "check for item barcode" comment to call 
checkdigit($$$) from C4::Input and push onto @errors if it fails. Set 
nounique on the call, depending whether members and books can have the 
same barcode. Probably C4::Input and the parameters interface could be 
extended if this is a common desire. File an "enhancement" bug report 
at http://bugs.koha.org/ if so.
