[RFC] issues with the modules system

[Anthony Liguori]

Perhaps you mean bool which is part of C99 (it's not bool_t for C++ 
compatibility).  You need to include the <stdbool.h> header to access it. 
autoconf has built in functions to handle systems that don't support 
stdbool.h (you need to add something to the includes.h probably to enable 
a C99 compliant bool).  From the autoconf manual 
(http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf/html_node/autoconf_50.html):

Macro: AC_HEADER_STDBOOL
    If `stdbool.h' exists and is conformant to C99, define HAVE_STDBOOL_H 
to 1; if the type _Bool is defined, define HAVE__BOOL to 1. To fulfill the 
C99 requirements, your `system.h' should contain the following code:

#if HAVE_STDBOOL_H
# include <stdbool.h>
#else
# if ! HAVE__BOOL
# ifdef __cplusplus
typedef bool _Bool;
# else
typedef unsigned char _Bool;
# endif
# endif
# define bool _Bool
# define false 0
# define true 1
# define __bool_true_false_are_defined 1
#endif
