I usually compile with warnings (so I'm aware of these).

short of copying data into temporary buffers, those const warnings won't
go away (and even copying them wouldn't work - there's too many machines
that have strcpy as
        extern char *strcpy(char *dst, char *src);
to match the ones with
        extern char *strcpy(char *dst, const char *src);

The unsigned warnings are doable (but I'm not going to use casts - that
obscures rather than fixing the problem).  But that sort of thing is what
I do _early_ in a development cycle (e.g., I'll do more during the 2.8.2
development, but for 2.8.1 it's stable).
