[Web4lib] Federated search products and FullText/PeerReviewlimiting

[Eric Hellman]

In our system, there are 3 modes configurable by the library
autoredirect=off  --- always show the link-server page
autoredirect=single  --- this means redirect if there is one and only 
one 'best' link
autoredirect=best    --- redirect to the first 'best' link found even 
if there are multiple high quality links; links can be ordered by 
preferred providers

I believe that Endeavor's LinkFinderPlus was the first commercial 
OpenURL resolver that touted this sort of capability.
