ship()

Ship a number of products. This action normally dispatches back to itself. Each time it first looks for orders that the user has marked to be shipped and ships them. It then displays an updated list of orders still awaiting shipping.

The view contains a checkbox for each pending order. If the user selects the checkbox to ship the product with id 123, then this method will see things_to_ship[123] set to "yes".
