You have run into effectively the same rule that prohibits implicit
conversion from "T**" to "const T**". That prohibition is not new,
but is in the ISO/ANSI C standard, and has not been changed, since
it would open a hole in the type system.

I believe the subject is covered in the comp.lang.c FAQ list.
