Well, I agree that it looks odd; I would have expected them to both be byte
const *. The reasons (if any) are shrouded in the mists of time. On the other
hand, although it may force a nasty cast, I'm not sure that it is worth
changing at this stage. Are there any strong feelings out there in
OSLib-land?
