Because these patches are wrong: they will generate a compilation error
in more recent versions of GNAT, so they should be considered as a work around.

Note that it's only testgtk (a test program) which is causing trouble, not
the GtkAda library per se.

I've looked at the code, and made a better change to remove the need for a
recent GNAT, hopefully, so making this patch no longer necessary.
