>Description:

	stdbool.h is a C99 standard header that is not available
	under FreeBSD.  There is a version available as part of
	gcc, but it is not installed.  This has caused us minor
	portability annoyances as we port our software to FreeBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try compiling any C code that needs stdbool.h.

>Fix:

	An easy one would be to start installing the stdbool.h in
	contrib/gcc/ginclude/stdbool.h.  however, that's not the
	best version of stdbool.h available.  The one that was
	indpendently written for OpenBSD includes '#define bool
	_Bool', which is required according to the C99 specs.
	Furthermore, the gcc version doesn't define _Bool at all
	which is not yet a builtin type in gcc 2.95.3.

	I'd recommend simply importing the OpenBSD stdbool.h.
