We're not passing const pointers to free(), qsort(), or realloc(); that
would be illegal. We're passing pointers to const pointers (very
different!) It's unpleasant that the MSVC compiler requires these to be
cast :-/.

Thanks Ozkan. Actually all patches (and bugs) submitted to Savannah are
automatically emailed to the bug-make mailing list (if you subscribe,
you'll see them ;-)) so we did get notification of them.
I generally let Eli look after the Windows-specific bugs, although I did
fix the DOS batchfile myself. I'll take a look at these though.
The getopt changes are problematic because I actually retrieve the
source for that from the GNU libc project.
