[patch] Samba Janitorial work: non-const pointer in iconv.c

[David Collier-Brown]

  Oh bother, gcc complains when you add a const in a cast... which strikes
me as an interesting interpretation of the semantics of const and cast (;-))

  Is there a samba-standard way to deal with include/code declaration
conflicts?  The Slolaris compiler produces a similar diagnostic,
although lint seem to get it correctly...
