Preferences and about

From AzureusWiki

SWT doesn't provide a standard way to add the 'Preferences' and 'About' menu item under the application standard menu. After asking on the SWT newsgroup, I got and answer from Bill Hunten, who gave me that code, I'm putting it here, as I think it could be usefull to anyone writing SWT interfaces on OS X.
