USE_LOCALE and unsigned char *

It currently looks like all developers are on a platform where USE_LOCALE is defined.

If it is not defined (e.g. on AIX) I get all sorts of
Function argument assignment between types "unsigned char*" and "char*" is not allowed.

I gather unsigned char's are only supposed to show up in a USE_LOCALE environment.

I #ifdef USE_LOCALE around varlena.c, but I don't see the other ones.
Send in some patches, OK?

I think I am responsible of some of "unisigned char problems."
I will look into these as soon as I confirm Bruce's fix works
for LinuxPPC. Ok?

fwiw, gcc seems much more tolerant of this. I never compile with the
USE_LOCALE features (unless trying to debug timezone complaints :) and
my builds don't barf^H^H^H^Hfail.

I looked into above three files. So far I couldn't find any problem
with them. maybe I should look for another file?
