I had actually looked at this, when Nirantara mentioned it. Just
making it editable is trivial of course;
http://mifos.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=mifos/head;a=commitdiff;h=d0fcc66a6a194b4ec42b1567eb9adbe782f52981
has where I tried this (please delete branch
hudsonBuild-MIFOS-5093_DateOfBirthEditable should you pull that in).

Note that http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-3836 is open for
this (with http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-5093 a, partial,
duplicate). In JIRA (and related older list thread about this) there
is something a duplicity check - forget about that as well?

I have also played with introducing an additional permission ("Edit
Active Client Data of Birth") the other night, but I take it that's
off the table then? (I got quite lost on how exactly to add such a new
permission anyway...)
