Curious code in Installer::installOneSource

I'm working in this area to implement the MD5-on-install feature. Is there
any reason why I should not simplify this:

char msg[64];
strcpy (msg, "Installing");
Progress.SetText1 (msg);
log (LOG_PLAIN, String (msg) + " " + source.Cached ());

To this:
char msg[] = "Installing";
Progress.SetText1 (msg);
log (LOG_PLAIN, String (msg) + " " + source.Cached ());

Or even, this:
Progress.SetText1 ("Installing");
log (LOG_PLAIN, String ("Installing ") + source.Cached ());

(There is no other use of the msg variable outside the context shown here.)


Max.
