I meant ncurses' definition to look like this (example from cut/paste):

#if defined(__cplusplus)        /* __cplusplus, etc. */

/* use the C++ compiler's bool type */
#define NCURSES_BOOL bool

#else                   /* c89, c99, etc. */

#if 1
#include <stdbool.h>
/* use whatever the C compiler decides bool really is */
#define NCURSES_BOOL bool
#endif

#endif /* !__cplusplus, etc. */

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

(the fix will of course be in my next patch)
