>Summary: [FIX] gensym() should use \"const char*\"

Initial Comment:
gensym is currently defined as "t_symbol *gensym(char *s);"

this leads to numerous warnings when compiling C++-externals, since C++ treats 
literals (strings) as "const char*".

e.g.
gensym("hello");
yields and a warning "warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 
'char*'"

the fix for this is simple and makes total sense, since gensym() does not need 
to modify the passed string. just use:
t_symbol *gensym(const char *s);


the attached patch does this (it additionally applies the same to the 
dogensym() function in m_class.c
