[GRASS5] ps.map writeable strings option for everybody

[Eric Mitchell]

The easy fix is altering ps.map to not require writable 
constant strings.  I'm not too familiar with the layout
of the ps.map source files.  Could someone point me to
the file that's causing the problem?

Automatically added via autoconf if using gcc, but other
compilers may need other switches to get around the 
writable strings requirement.

For the purposes of RPM, that's perfect.

The best fix is to not need such evil hackery in the first 
place. =)  I've submitted a revised makefile structure that
may make finding the "proper" location for these things 
easier.  Then again, I just might be deluding myself
