            Bug ID: 10744
           Summary: ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay has minor workflow
                    conflicts with hold(s) over report

Turning on ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay means that the hold(s) over part of the
holds awaiting pickup report (circ/waitingreserves.pl) can be confusing.

Specifically, if the hold cancellation cronjob runs before the library opens,
the hold(s) over list will never contain any contents -- all of the holds that
have hit the max pickup delay will have been cancelled.

Having a report that will never produce results can be (and has been for at
least one of our customers) confusing.

I can think of a couple options for improving this:

- suppress the display of the hold(s) over tab if ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay
is on.
- have the hold(s) over report display the list of waiting holds that were
canceled 
  - today or
  - the last time cancel_expired_holds.pl was run
- as alternative or in conjunction with one of the other options, have
cancel_expired_holds.pl create a report of cancelled waiting holds to assist
with clearing the items from the holds shelf
