Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:1 neteler]:
 > Patch redone for current 6.5/7 (and uploaded uncompressed for easier
 review). Compiling, I get this warning:
 {{{
 main.c:122: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
 }}}

 The ->answers field is {{{char **}}} which isn't compatible with {{{const
 char **}}}.

 You can implicitly cast {{{char *}}} to {{{const char *}}}, but not with
 additional levels of indirection. In theory, a {{{const char *}}} could be
 wider than a {{{char *}}}, so you can cast these types, but not pointers
 to them.

 {{{char * const *}}} should work.
