GENERAL
-------
This enrollment plugin can digest XML from the Luminis Message Broker, allowing realtime Banner to Moodle integration,
as well as full XML extractions from Banner.

You can use this module with or without Luminis Message Broker. If you do not use Luminis Message Broker, you can instead use
this module to import XML files from banner on a manual or automated basis.

I have tried to make this module as customizable as possible. If you need to make changes for your specific install, please let
me know, so I can look into making it into a preference item (also take a look at the todo list below).
