OK, attached is a revised Gnulib proposed patchset that does that. It 
changes stdbool to assume C99 (since that should be safe now), which 
means stdbool no longer needs to use AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. It moves the old 
stdbool stuff into a new module 'stdbool-c99' that's already marked 
obsolescent, in case someone still needs to port to pre-C99 compilers 
for some reason.
