There are a number of variables in mozilla/intl that could be made const. 
Making them const allows some optimizations not otherwise available, such as
sharing more data between multiple running instances.
yay! so glad to see more of these bugs :)
Here is a patch that constifies some variables in intl.  Interestingly, the
file  intl/chardet/src/nsCyrillicClass.h is automatically generated by
GenCyrllicClass.cpp which already outputs static const variables, but the copy
in CVS has only static variables.

This patch fixes that, as well as updating some method signatures to avoid
"casting away const" type warnings.  All told, it makes about 1k of data const.
