Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] A generic boolean (version 3)

(Sorry about the dummy-mail I just sent. Pressed send by accident.)

Here is the next "version".

Changes since version 2:
* removed __u1 and u1, not really usable and error-prone.
* removed #ifdef __GNUC__ when defining bool.
* changed back the version-checking when defining bool, this since I'm quite
sure Linux 2.4 and 2.6 share (if not all, then large part of) the drivers. And
2.4 is still compiled with the 2.95 Gcc.
* changed to Jeff's version when defining "false" and "true".

Thanks for all the comments and suggestion.
