I don't have a posix standard, so a simple question ...

putenv in 2.03 took a const char * argument

When it was moved to the posix section in cvs it is no longer const
When I passed the const strings "lfn=" in mntent I had to unconst
the strings to avoid warnings.  Is it against the standard or some
other way bad for this to be const in the headers?  Just wondering.
