Webkit: Conversion from string literal loses const qualifier

[Kevin Rushforth]

Hi Ali,

The production build of FX is done using VS2013 and we haven't seen this 
error. Where are you getting FX from? Are you using VS2013 Express or 
Pro? If Express, be aware that we do not support 64-bit builds (although 
this is not likely your problem).
