Good...glad you agree.  Hopefully nobody else will object and I can go ahead
with this soon.

By the way, your change to dblib.c is not really appropriate.  It does not
really correct these warnings, it just hides them a little bit better.  If
you use "-Wcast-qual" you will still receive a warning.  The correct fix is
to go ahead with my suggestion and add "const" in the appropriate places in
the public interfaces, so that these items are passed consistently between
all functions as const.

Cheers,

No, placing constant here is not a problem nor for caller (char* can always
be converted to const char* and without explicit cast of
warnings) nor for library implementation/compatibility (C has no name
mangling like C++, so internal function name is the same)
