Indeed, that code is what led me to believe I could work around my bool
conflict problem with a "#define bool bool" in my code. It appeared to work
at first -- the code compiled and even ran, but later when I added a Version 1
function (that's an interface that has a structure with a "bool" member),
things fell apart (my compiler's bool is 4 bytes) and it took hours to trace
it back to my workaround and try something else.

So it would be an improvement to remove the code that purports to cope with
other definitions of bool. And maybe add a comment emphasizing that "bool" is
part of the binary interface between server extensions and the base server.
