Thomas Rast 5d314759d7 Cast execl*() NULL sentinels to (char *) ...

The NULL sentinel argument to the execl*() family of calls must be
cast to (char *), as otherwise:

- platforms where NULL is just 0 (not (void *)) would pass an int

- (admittedly esoteric) platforms where NULL is (void *)0 and (void *)
  and (char *) have different memory layouts would pass the wrong kind
  of pointer
