string literals in struct initializers with C++

[jtc at acorntoolworks dot com (J.T. Conklin)]

In the process of moving from the gcc-3_2-branch to the CVS head, I found 
code with string literals in struct initializers no longer compiles using
g++.  I'm not sure whether this is just a tightening of the parser or a 
bug.

The following code:

        struct foo {
                char    x[20];
                int     y;
                int     z;
        };

        struct foo foos[] = {
                { "foo", 0, 2 },
                { "bar", 1, 3 }
        };

Now results in:
        foo.cc:10: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char'
        foo.cc:10: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char'

When it used to compile with older versions of g++.  It continues to
compile with gcc.

        --jtc
