There are apparently 2 versions of tk headers out there, some which
use char** and some which use const char** in this function.  We've
already seen platform differences on win32, apple and linux which
we're trying to typedef appropriately.  Todd, perhaps instead of a
platform based typedef we need some tk version macro or something
since he's also bumping into this on linux.  May be time for a google
:-)

Gary, it's an easy fix for you.  Search src/_tkagg.cpp for this
section of the code (around line 32)

#ifdef WIN32
#define argv_t const char
#else
#define argv_t char
#endif

and just delete it all and replace it with

#define argv_t const char

Let us know how it goes from there.
