Program Finder should strip "An" prefix from titles when sorting

[ylee@…]

Program Finder only strips "The" and "A" from the front of program titles when sorting and displaying titles. "An" should also be stripped.

ylee, could you test the attached patch and see if that works for you?

(In [12723]) Ignore 'An' along with 'The' and 'A' in the programme finder.

Closes #3048

I apologize for not responding earlier to this patch. Under 0.20-fixes the patch applies without problems but fails during compilation (I think from something QT-related). Given the lack of complaints I trust it does not cause any problems under trunk. While I'd love to see it backported to 0.20-fixes it is certainly very much a lesser-priority issue.

Here's the error message:

I am leaving the ticket closed because, again, it is a cosmetic issue and unless someone is hankering for a (hopefully trivial) backport to 0.20-fixes there should be no rush.
