Catchup button patch for straw

Introduction

The following patch provides a toolbar feed catchup button for Straw, an RSS feed aggregator. I wrote it because I found that having to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard to press control-C was rather annoying, to catch-up on those feeds in which you don't want to read all the articles. With this patch, catching-up a feed is simply a matter of clicking on the new button, as show below:
