	Because now in gda_value_get_date() It is already done:

return BONOBO_ARG_GET_GENERAL (value, GDA_VALUE_TYPE_DATE, GdaDate *,
                                        NULL);

	BONOBO_ARG_GET_GENERAL does it for me. The same for
	gda_field_get_time_value() and *timestamp_value().

	Do you still want me to put those lines back?

	Ok. So I'll remove all const inserted except those for return
	values that are pointers.

	Yes, I also think it is a good idea to make a separate file for
	specific tests. I'll do.

	Give me a few hours and I'll be back with the corrected patch
	:-).

	Thanks for your time!
