Task #473

Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza over 12 years ago

* _alt only preserves one of several alternative fields, while _merge concatenates them 
 * Important: _alt is still needed in cases where multiple input fields can serve as the unique key for a table, but additional input fields are also mapped elsewhere as their primary destination 
 ** e.g. occurrenceID being used as location.sourceaccessioncode when no locationID is available 
 * in addition to changing the mappings, the auto-_alts added by bin/map should be changed to _merges
