This is necessary for plugins when building libxul for GTK+ 3 because libxul will link against GTK+ 3 and some plugins link against GTK+ 2, but both GTK+ libraries can't be loaded in the same process. With this change, we have an indirection between libxul and libgtk, named libmozgtk. plugin-container will be modified to load libmozgtk2 in order to only have GTK+ 2 in its address space, thus enabling various plugins (e.g. flash) on GTK+ 3 firefox.
