The reason this patch was removed was to avoid treating FreeBSD 
differently than other Unix systems, at the suggestion of an IBM 
engineer. This is was he said:

"I intend to apply the patches to the launcher and SWT, but I have one 
question. I've been worried about the use of "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0" vs 
"libgtk-x11-2.0.so" on *BSD vs Linux.  For shared libraries, the first 
number is the major version number, and an unversioned .so link is 
supposed to point at the current development version (it's what -l 
uses).  We can't dlopen the .so on every platform because doesn't always 
exist.  Under many Linux distributions, the .so symbolic link only 
exists in the -devel package. I have heard that the library version 
weirdness on FreeBSD is due to a libtool bug, and is fixed by an 
"ltverhack" script at some point, but I have not been able to verify this."

In my tests I concluded that it was unnecessary and I received no 
responses or complaints when I asked for testers. I'm glad that bringing 
it back is a satisfactory solution to this problem, and I don't expect 
any trouble from it, but I wonder whether there is some dlopen flag that 
should be used instead.
