I'll add BVCC then.  And use it - where?  I don't get any warnings.
In fact I just tried
	#define BER_BVC(s)	{ STRLENOF(s), ("" s "") }
	#define BER_BVSTR(bv,s)	... (bv)->bv_val = ("" s ""); ...
which requires s to be a string constant, and only got one error
back-bdb/index.c:presence_key.

Maybe we should do that as well #if __STDC__?  It gives an error if one
casts away const on s, which changes the result of STRLENOF().
