That's not what you originally claimed.  You said many changes are to
pacify the Microsoft compiler's bogus warnings.  There's nothing bogus
about using the right data type or declare a variable or an argument
`const' when it is.

I agree that these changes should go in a separate commit.  But then I
asked several times to do the same for texinfo.tex when you sync with
gnulib, and you declined.  So I guess Fabrice is not the only one who
does that...
