The messages related to openvpn-plugin.h should be fixed with the following commit

commit 555fc5e34a9b1aca4bfa435023fe1aa336557ec7

    Fix const declarations in plug-in v3 structs
    
    Microsoft Visual Studio complains about const char const **ptr declarations
    and expects them to be be const char ** const ptr.  The latter is what was the
    intention, that neither the pointer nor the value(s) it points at can be changed.

Final Visual studio compile fixes are available here and have been ACKed. Apply these on top of tmp/winbuildfix branch (based on "master") and VS builds work again.
