Try to find a compiler option that makes all stringliteral
readonly.
The sanity check is done by looking at string.h which has a set of
strcpy definitions that should be defined with const-modifiers to
not emit a warning in all so many places.
For the GNU CC compiler it will be -fno-writable-strings
-Wwrite-strings The result is added to the shellvar being CFLAGS by
default.
DEFAULTS:
- $1 shell-variable-to-add-to : CFLAGS
- $2 add-value-if-not-found : nothing
- $3 action-if-found : add value to shellvariable
- $4 action-if-not-found : nothing
