Yes and no. As far as I'm aware, the warnings are correct. However, it
doesn't seem to cause any problems. The code still compiles and seems to
work.

The warnings come about because C++ is only mostly compatible with C,
not fully compatible, and the ORBit header files are just C. I'm not
sure what the full implications are of having non-static const members
in a class without a constructor, but we have them. :)
