This was discovered before, so duplicate checking/merging already takes 
place. Didn't even think about the multiple film issue!

yes - i'll just have to change the way it's handled internally....but 
this will mean the editing stage will have to include all prior films as 
well as the chosen one. Instead of doing each film completely and then 
merging the resulting XML from each, I'll treat each new film as simply 
an additional set of cast to what came before. Then it can use the 
already-coded duplicate checking bits.
