#11 Const-warnings

[Anonymous]

Compiling in MSVC gives the following warnings due
to const (in)correctness. I don't think I'd be able to correct them, but I've listed them just for reference.

I believe that some of these warnings are actually bugs in MSVC. Could somebody who knows how to use MSVC quite well please contact me at lwithers@lwithers.demon.co.uk so that I can try to debug this?

Some of the warnings are now corrected in the CVS tree, but
others are MSVC-specific (I don't know if they are really
bugs though) and aren't meant to be fixed at the time
being. The MSVC-compiled lib works perfectly in spite of
them.
