As I made mention of, it's not wise to remove constness. cmd_door is
an array of const strings, but the fifth argument of act() is no longer
const. You can't implicitly cast away a const qualifier because const is
meant as a reasonable assurance that a function does not modify a given
variable.
Where const is used in CircleMUD, it's usually done for good reason;
haphazardly removing the qualifiers is bound to introduce problems when
you're passing in const parameters or trying to assign a const pointer to
a non-const pointer.
