Summary: expat build fails on linux-amd64 with gcc version>=4.1 -O3

Initial Comment:
Hi,

xmlparse.c contains a cast from const XML_Char* to XML_Char* which newer versions of gcc don't like at all.

cc1: warnings being treated as errors                                                           
src/external/expat-2.0.0/lib/xmlparse.c: In function 'doProlog':                                
src/external/expat-2.0.0/lib/xmlparse.c:3771: warning: passing                                  
argument 1 of 'normalizePublicId' discards qualifiers from pointer target type                  
make: *** [obj/src/external/expat-2.0.0/lib/xmlparse.o] Error 1                                 
 
Thus I devised the attached work-around.

Regards, Thomas Jahns
