- sprinkle const
- add a macro (setptr) that cheats const to temporarily NUL terminate strings
remove casts from allocations
- use strdup instead of strlen+strcpy
- use x = malloc(sizeof(*x)) instead of x = malloc(sizeof(type of *x)))
- add -Wcast-qual (and casts through unitptr_t in the two macros we
cheat (xfree, setptr)).
While none of them is considered even near to cryptographic
level, random(3) is a better random generator than rand(3).
Use random(3) for awk as is done in other systems.
Thanks to Chenguang Li for discussing this in the lists
and submitting the patch upstream.

Also remove a redundant semicolon.
Also had to rebase on upstream pull.
