[PATCH 0/2] mingw: macro main(), const warnings

Hello,

mingw.h defines a preprocessor macro main(), so that it can wrap the
original function and hoook into initialization.

The real main() function can have different types of its second
parameter (char**, const char**, char*[]).  It is not easy to match
the type and gcc issues a const warning.  My patch fixes that.

There were solutions for the same issue published ([1], [2]), but
none of them appeared in junio/pu.  This new solution should be more
future proof, as it modifies only compat/mingw.h; the *.c files can
have any of the types mentioned above.

I promise to take care of the integration into msysGit if this patch
gets accepted.  To make it easier, I'm submitting a patch that has
been part of msysGit for 3 years.
