Every modification deserves a patch ! ;)

In fact, the patch in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563403
already adds a %album_artist% pattern, amongst other things. But IMHO,
it still has some issues.

A patch only adding %album_artist% might be easier to get in. But it
will have to wait until after the 1.4.2 release (should be coming soon).
