Font-lock does not fontify C++ const pointer declaration

[Marshall, Simon]

I think this bug report got lost somewhere or maybe the fix was incomplete.

Emacs 19-21 fontifies the following C++ snippet:

  int *p;                       // ok
  const int *p;         // ok
  int *const p;         // not ok in CVS emacs
  const int *const p;   // not ok in CVS emacs

so that "p" is in font-lock-variable-name-face.  

In Emacs CVS, it does not fontify "p" when p is declared as a const pointer.

(I think it also misfontified in C, when I first reported it, but now C is
OK.)
