Automatic checkout of hold when it becomes available.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Overdrive has recently introduced a new feature that will automatically 
checkout holds when they become available. It is a setting that can be changed 
in the Overdrive account. Will this have any impact on the API development?

I don't think there will be an issue. What will probably happen is that an item 
with this setting will disappear from the holds list and re-appear in the 
checkouts list, with no format selected (if there are multiple formats to 
select from), or with the single format selected. Without the setting, the item 
normally stays in the holds list, but has a new action button to do checkout.

It would be good to verify the presumed sequence of events, but the setup 
procedure will be slightly intricate:

1. Place a hold on an item with multiple formats that can be targeted within 
the foreseeable future.
2. Use Library To Go interface to set the auto-checkout setting for the item.

Upon targetting, verify the following.
(a) The item does not appear on holds list, but appears on checkouts list.
(b) The item has a Select format action button.
