+This patch fixes .so links in man pages.
+It's needed because of the configure option -
+
+    --program-suffix=${_php_version}
+
+The changes made by this patch should be the same as the changes made by this
+block of code -
+
+    _regexp='^[[:space:]]*\.so[[:space:]]'
+    for file in $(grep -l -e "$_regexp" -R .); do
+    	vsed -i "$file" -e "/$_regexp/"'s=^[[:space:]]*\.[^.]*=&'${_php_version}=
+    done
+
+Where _php_version is defined in the template file.
