Re: texinfo-4.3 -- a patch to get rid of gcc warnings

[Karl Berry]

Hi Peter,

    I just built texinfo-4.3 (on ix86-linux-gnu with gcc-2.95.3) and saw
    that there are a lots of gcc warnings. 

Were you using -Wall?  I did not get any warnings with the default options.
I don't think any of the string constants actually get written to, at
least I've never gotten a bug report about it.

Anyway, I completely agree about using const and prototypes.  I just
hadn't wanted to make that big of a change to the sources while I was
(primarily) in bug-fixing mode.

    Therefore, I would like to suggest the attached patch. 

Thanks very much!
