mksh does it like this:

• (1) if <stdbool.h> exists (autoconf’d), use it
• (2) [see below]
• (3) if not, use our own snippet of code:

----- cutting here may damage your screen surface -----
typedef int bool;
#define false 0
#define true 1
----- cutting here may damage your screen surface -----

While this is not an issue for mksh, native DOS/Win32 (and maybe VMS?) compi-
lations could add a step (2) which scans for alternative (non-C99) definitions
of boolean types (BOOL, BOOLEAN, _Bool, whatever, maybe even C++ style) and
makes use of them.

Actually using this C99-style bool/true/false type is a matter of search and
replace, iff the code has been using a sort-of booleans before already.
