The struct multi_func_list in multidispatch.h has several const STRING * members. His content is passed is several points to string functions that takes non-const arguments, giving warnings in C and errors in C++
I fixed that in r38539 but a better solution will be to make that functions take a const argument, and that implies doing the same with the related charset/encoding functions.
