r21767 - gnucash/trunk/src/gnome-utils - Add a "features" table to the KVP frame, and pop up an error message

Dear Derek,

thanks for implementing the feature table! Obviously it's a first shot at this 
feature, and we still need to see how the code will look like when the first 
known features are compared against.

Here I don't fully agree: The feature description cannot be a translatable 
string. The description is what the old version should show to the user. Now, 
the old version by definition doesn't know about the new feature. Hence, it 
will also by definition not contain any translations of the description string 
of the new feature. It is therefore pointless to care about translations of 
these strings, unless you want to add all known translations into the KVP slot 
as well, and the old version can pick up the translated form directly from the 
KVP slot. IMHO this is too much effort here. Instead, we should just stick to 
the english text because a translation doesn't really work.

Regards,

Christian
