axis c++ doesn't build with gcc 2.96

           Summary: axis c++ doesn't build with gcc 2.96
           Product: Axis-C++
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: slang@mcs.anl.gov


The gcc 2.96 compiler appears to be more strict about function pointer
conversion, and will fail to compile the Axis C++ code because there are a
number of function pointers being set in each of the headers IMessageData.h
IWrapperSoapSerializer.h IWrapperSoapDeSerializer.h and Call.h.  I'm submitting
a patch that fixes these problems with a typedef of each function and a cast to
the appropriate type.  

The patch also renames the Call::Initialize_s function, because there are two
functions with the name Initialize_s and you can't pass the first as a function
pointer because it will conflict with the second.  The code that calls
Initialize_s should be updated to reflect that change.
