Seconded with what Alexandre said.  I'll be reverting it anyway, since
it appears to conflict with older versions of ncurses than the one
I noticed the problem on, and finding another temporary fix for BFD for
this release - and after that I would like to purge bool from the
headers entirely.  But cgen should first be fixed.
