Avoid string duplication in catkeys

[humdingerb]

Since I added a way to show the About/Help from the preference panel as well, additionally to from the Deskbar replicant, the strings there are doubled: once in the en.catkeys under src/locales and once in preflet/locales.

The only way I see is to not show the About/Help from the preflet and replicant, but from the devicefilter and just send it a message over the port to trigger it.
I'm a bit reluctant to put more non-mission critical stuff in there, however...

Or can we live with the translators having to copy&paste the help text?
Thoughts, @OscarL , old coding buddy? :)

An option is to have one app load another one's catalog, and get the strings from there. While the B_TRANSLATE_* macros usually hide it, the BCatalog class can be used directly, for purposes like this.

I'm not sure I'm prepared to try delving this deep into the locale hole for one duplicated string.
If worse comes to worse, I'd rather manually (or scriptically) remove the string from one catkeys file and later copy it back from the translated catkeys...

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

@humdingerb: I can't offer any thoughts, as I have zero experience using any of the "i8n" APIs :-/

Knowing me... I'll probably try to hack something in the makefile, use only one locale dir (+ a symlink where needed), or something just as silly :-)
