Bug reference:      2091

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0
Operating system:   Linux
Description:        ecpglib.h needs to be updated....
Details:

There are a number of places in function prototypes of ECPGdo, ECPGprepare
and ECPGdeallocate where 'char *' should be changed to 'const char *'. I am
sure the other functions have similar problems.

In trying to get my make's to work cleanly (no spurious warnings), I put
-fwriteable-string as an option. But this is a deprecated option in gcc,
which spits out a complaint. So the only way to stop the madness is to cast
the function prototypes correctly. Is this a possibility for the next
release (or is it in there already)?
