Going through the changes individually, it seems like we could eliminate a handful of the casts altogether; for examle (char *)"string literal" ones.
It'd be interesting to remove then and compile with './configure --enable-gcc-warnings' to see if that creates new warnings.
(The C standard effectively says that a (non-wide) string literal has type "static char[n]", not "static const char[n]".) But that would be a different patch, plus I can imagine we have those casts in the first place because gcc complained or whatever. :)
It's a bit surprising. Surely any string literal is placed in the text section so definitely not writable?
