DRUG INTERACTION file (#56) involving these locally added ingredients.
If the locally added ingredients have been overwritten, these interactions
will check for ingredients other than those indicated by the name of the
interaction.
This patch performs six functions.
1. It creates a new style cross-reference on the NAME field (#.01) and the

subsequently overwritten by a national ingredient.
