 I'm not aware of any easy hack specifically for this, people simply do it as 
a part of string cleanups.

 And note that this is not the only case where it's possible to do the change 
as one big patch. I think it might be possible to e.g. get rid of all 
CONSTASCII macros in one go as well, or convert OSL_DEBUG, and so on. Unless 
we want to stay with those things forever (which I hope we don't), they will 
be eventually cleaned up one way or another.

 Ok, it can wait for a while.
