'bool' is defined in random places. This patch consolidates them into a single typedef.

Has this been actually compile tested?

And what exactly would "_Bool" be?

_Bool is a C99 type (though I fail to imagine why). If using this, one might as well use the C99 header stdbool.h providing macros for 'bool', 'true' and 'false' instead of this.

Can we rather try and get rid of all this "bool" stuff instead? It's just obfuscating the code...

Indeed.
