[ic] allow ordering more than in stock

[Steve Streich]

I spent quite a bit of time in the archives, and nothing seemed to fit what
I am attempting.
It would only be one not a couple functions, as it would not matter wether 1
item was ordered and we had 0 or 10 ordered and we had 9. The message would
still diplay as (for 0 stock) Ordering more than "0" may result in delays or
backorders. This would then give the customer a choice of wether to continue
and allow the delay/backorder or cut the item in the cart back to our
current stock qty.
