Getting out of the way of C99 "bool" makes sense.  It is old enough to
vote.  On my system the tests pass at top level and tcl, plperl,
plpython after each patch is applied, when configured with:
 --enable-debug --enable-depend --enable-cassert --with-icu --with-python --with-perl --with-tcl --with-icu
--with-ldap

However my system has sizeof(bool) == 1 and so do all the systems I
have access to (x86 + POWER).  Where can we find a computer with
sizeof(bool) == 4?  According to the intertubes OSX on POWER and
Windows 32 bit systems had that in ancient prehistory but they don't
now.

Looks good.

Maybe "compatible with bool" ?

+#elif SIZEOF_BOOL == 4

Maybe int32?  I understand that PostgreSQL doesn't actually work if
int isn't of that size, but still.

Make sense.

Looks good.

I'm afraid this autoconf stuff is gibberish, and I can't personally
tell if it's the right gibberish so no opinion on this one.
