[librecat-dev] adding authors in publication import who do not exist in librecat users

[Patrick Hochstenbach]

Hi

External authors can be added but most at least have the fields full_name, first_name and last_name set to be visible in the web interface.

The id generator can be reset to any value using the command line tools. E.g 

bin/librecat id get
bin/librecat id set 1
