Re: adding a few 'const's

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for catching those.  I prefer the 'const' after the type that
it modifies, so I installed the following into gnulib.  (For coreutils
I guess I need to come up to speed on its new version control system.)

        * lib/getdate.y (yyerror): Make the arguments pointer-to-const,
        to pacify GCC with some -W flags enabled.  Problem reported by
        Bruno Haible.
