If you want to use CONST_STRING in other source files, you need to 
#include the corresponding .str file in the source code, since the 
CONST_STRING macro and the constant strings are defined in the .str 
file. See src/objects.c and src/objects.str for an example.

I haven't tested whether this works for regular functions declared in 
.pmc files yet (the other place the problem occurs most frequently).
