Summary: Ability object - AUTO vs Normal behavior

Initial Comment:
Ok, this seems weird, at least to me.

Further testing on the new Modifications to Wizard has the Scribe
Scroll not showing up on the OS feat list.  I changed Scribe Scroll
from AUTO:FEAT|Scribe Scroll to ABILITY:Wizard Feat|AUTOMATIC|Scribe
Scroll, so that it would show up with the other Wizard feats.  It also
doesn't show in the normal Feat list as Automatic (which, at least in
my mind, it should).  All of the Wizard feats selected from the UI
from the Wizard Feat Pool do show up, just not the automatic ones.
Changing it to ABILITY:Wizard Feat|NORMAL|Scribe Scroll does result in
a listing under Feats on the OS and preview.

Is this the desired behavior?

The isVisible method of AbilityCategory will need to be updated to check
for any visible automatic or virtual abilities held by the character.

This bug may have morphed slightly since first reported. In SVN 4485
Scribe Scroll does show up in the Wizard Feat list as an automatic feat but
only once the feat pool > 0. 

At lower levels the Wizard Feat list is not displayed at all and so Scribe
Scroll isn't as well. 

James stated that the intention was that if the pool had automatic or
virtual feats that should cause the list to be displayed overriding the
fact that the pool = 0
