Re: Feature and string break request

cc'ing gnome-i18n, since that's where a string freeze break request
should be sent.

For translators: the new string is "Archive Mounter".

Alex, your patch doesn't modify POTFILES.in :-)

I'm a bit mixed on the feature freeze break. It sounds harmless and
more of a good thing. But then it deprecates file-roller in some part
since it's not needed to read archives anymore... I need to think a bit
more about this, I guess.
