Visual Studio 8 compilation issues

[szekerest@…]

The following changes should be considered in order to compile GDAL with Visual
Studio 8 (2005)

1. /GX compiler option is deprecated in Visual C++ 2005 /EHsc should be used instead

2. CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE should be definied in
nmake.opt, like:

OPTFLAGS=	/nologo /MD /EHsc /Zi /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
/D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE /Fd$(GDAL_ROOT)\gdal.pdb

3. Compiler does not allow const_cast to down cast ie from const char* to char*
should be avoided. (only mitab_feature.cpp suffers from this problem)

diff mitab_feature.cpp

I have applied the /GX to /EHsc conversion and the addition of
the CRT macros (in cpl_port.h).  But mitab_feature.cpp has changed alot
from the version used for the patch here, and I can't see any reason
to apply the patch as it stands.  I suspect something else has already
been changed about the mode.  

Please reopen if you still have a problem against GDAL CVS, and thanks!
