Why does PyRun_SimpleFile need a char*, not a const char*?

You can submit a bug report if you want, but this problem has already
been discussed on Python-dev:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-March/021002.html

The big problem is that adding const to the headers would break many
existing extensions.
