[ic] Free Shipping workaround

[David Work]

There's a bug regarding free shipping (Will Call) that's been 
frustrating me because many of our carts will be for brick & mortar 
local businesses doing business locally. 

I added "WCPU" (Will Call) as a shipping method, specified it to 
allow ZERO, and made it the default shipping method. When an 
order is placed, IC calculates the initial shipping correctly, but 
leaves it out of the shipping method drop down menu (the one with 
calculated shipping $). 

This bug has been reported several times for over a year, but 
hasn't been fixed in version 4.9.8 unless I'm missing something. 
The solution has been one that removed the calculated shipping $ 
but displayed the list correctly.

Here's what I did to fix this - in include/checkout/shipping_address 
(ord/checkout.html in earlier versions), I added the <OPTION 
VALUE="WCPU"> statement right after the select. The remainder 
of this routine was left intact:

     <SELECT NAME=mv_shipmode>
      <OPTION VALUE="WCPU"> Will Call Pick Up
       [shipping
              label=1
              mode=|[data table=country key='[default country US]' col
=shipmodes]|
                  ]
       </SELECT>

This should work in earlier versions, too, and it retains the 
*calculated* shipping values for the other options. It might not work 
for "free shipping over $200" type orders, but that's not my 
immediate problem.

Am I missing something? Seems like a pretty simple solution, 
although not better than fixing the bug in first place ....
