For the specific change, I found quite a lot of const poisoning: in
the original bug report, the submitter only requested a single change
(for RunString). Changing the entire class of functions, and figuring
out the closure of needed changes, was my day's ratio of poison that I
can stand without becoming more insane :-)

I had to cut it short at two places: PyFile_FromFile got not changed,
and neither did the tok_state members.
