SVN 1.2.x branch: Compiler messages on windows build

I've seen some discussions about compiler messages here, so I thought I
might add some more message when building subversion.

If these compiler warnings do not matter to you, please ignore this post.

Build initiated by the TortoiseSVN build script.

\svn\Subversion\subversion\libsvn_ra_local\split_url.c(99) : warning
C4090: 'initializing' : different 'const' qualifiers

The result of svn_path_uri_decode() is assigned to a non-const char*,
but the svn_path_uri* functions return const char*. I wonder why that
is, since the returned path is a string allocated in a pool and does not
need to be declared const, does it?

\svn\Subversion\subversion\libsvn_diff\diff_file.c:
(150) : 'function' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t'
(164) : 'function' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t'
(166) : 'function' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t'

These are about creating a map or loading a file in function
map_or_read_file. Since I do not know what files are loaded here, I can
not say if this might generate problems for very large files.

(203) : '=' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t',
(257) : '=' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'int'
(306) : '=' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t'
(409) : 'function' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'size_t'

These are from chunk size calculations, so they are pretty safe. Maybe a
type cast might prevent the warnings here.

(398) : 'function' : conversion from 'apr_off_t' to 'apr_size_t'

Don't know about this one...

There are more compiler warnings, but they result from some generic type
usage are probably safe. If you want to fix them, I can mail the other
locations, too.
