Sorry, I didn't state that question very clearly.  I want to silence
warnings with WARNS=2 enabled by converting some variables to const char *.
Since I'm converting variables to ANSI C types, it makes no sense to care
along the __P() support shims because it won't compile on K&R anyway.  Am I
correct in my assertion?
