[xml] XPath.c: Error: '=': qualifier-losing implicit cast of pointer

[Philip Ludlam <nospam philipnet com>]

Dear All,

I get the following error from my compiler when compiling xpath.c:
Error: '=': qualifier-losing implicit cast of pointer
which occurs at the altered lines in the attached patch (here it's lines
570 & 576).

The compiler is quite a stickler for the C standard and I believe that
it doesn't like the assignment of const value to a non-const one (see
S6.7.3).

Yours,

Phil L.
