lib/exclude.c and lib/setmode.c do:
  #if HAVE_STDBOOL_H
  # include <stdbool.h>
  #else
  typedef enum {false = 0, true = 1} bool;
  #endif

and src/system.h has:
  #if HAVE_STDBOOL_H
  # include <stdbool.h>
  #else
  # define bool unsigned char
  #endif

On Tru64 UNIX with the Commercial C compiler (not the one from the
base OS), <stdbool.h> in /usr/include.dtk has:
  #define bool    _Bool

I have no idea what _Bool is but it isn't defined anywhere else in
/usr/include or /usr/include.dtk (DTK = Desktop Toolkit). This leads
to:
