configure still botches the compiler. I finally got to tearing apart 
config.log; the reason appears to be because there is no stdbool.h on my 
system. Thoughts/suggestions? (Note that the compiler with only 
<stdio.h> does not understand 'bool', despite pages such as 
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/vacpp/features/ claiming that 
it is supported.)
