This won't work if stdbool.h defines true/false as an enum. Some
versions of gcc did this. The correct fix is to change the code so it
doesn't use any of the identifiers bool, true, or false for other
purposes than those intended by stdbool.h.
I agree with Wolfgang that using "boolean" types is generally a bad idea
that only introduces problems.
