Description

Bibutils and other programs generate MODS XML with multiple given names for a single person:
​http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/mods_intro.html

Most of the examples given by the LoC seem to combine first and middle name in a single element, so I don't think the exporter needs to be changed at this time. However, we should import these files properly (otherwise, middle names/initials overwrite the value of the first name that had been parsed previously).
