Automatically add when competencies are met

A skill can be setup so it's added to a persons profile where competencies (additional skills/quals or criteria) have been met - eg. if a "Drivers Licence (any)" is setup to require a "Drivers Licence (car)" or "Drivers Licence (motorbike)", when either of those qualifications have been obtained, the "Drivers Licence (any)" skill/qual will be added to their profile.
