OK, they must have removed the explicit cast to string.  A little
annoying, since a filename is just a string.

I'll add a configure check.

Would you be OK to test a prerelease tarball once I've done that, since
I can't test it myself yet?  It'll probably be the weekend at the
earliest, given that I'm supported to be writing my PhD thesis, and
not coding ;-)
