Patch from Frederic Bouvier:

A const char * is not supposed to change and cannot be deleted. So
here is a patch that remove unnecessary const from props.hxx and
props.cxx. There also is the addition of a friend directive because
nested classes do not receive special privileges and cannot access
private members of the outer class.
