const char problem on Ubuntu 8.04

[Roman Kennke]

Hi there,

After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, I noticed that the compiler shipped
there (gcc 4.2.3) is a little picky about const chars. Attached you find
a patch that contains all the necessary changes to shut up the compiler.
It fixes the declarations of a bunch of char* to const char*, or in
other cases (where not possible otherwise), insert a cast from const
char* to char*.

Cheers, Roman
