As much as a reminder to myself as anything else, you would probably want
to put in catalog.cfg:

FormIgnore   mv_handling

Along these lines further, for better integrity and less chance of a
user screwing up your order routes, it probably makes sense to do in
the demo:

FormIgnore      mv_order_route

ifdef ORDER_ROUTES
ValuesDefault   mv_order_route "__ORDER_ROUTES__"
endif

ifndef ORDER_ROUTES
ValuesDefault   mv_order_route "log_transaction main copy_user"
endif

I will put this in the new "foundation".

( Some wives probably worry about where there husbands are when they are gone.
  Mine doesn't. 8-) )
