upgrade of libpdf breaks gnuplot

Description

Like this:

chibi:xemacs steve$ gnuplot
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libpdf.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gnuplot
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

I realize that one can avoid this by always rebuilding dependents, but that is very time-consuming. It would be nice if library upgrades that change dylib version warned about breaking dependents.

/opt/local/lib/libpdf.6.dylib should not have disappeared in this version update.
It was a bug and has been fixed in r35939.

As for the larger point about library dependencies, I agree it would be nice to reduce unnecessary recompiling.
