Does anyone know if there is a good reason why the win32 uisim does this instead of using the proper bool type?

If the code has to cater for int-as-bool everywhere (forcing ugly constructs such as "?true:false"), then much of the elegance of the bool type is erased.

Are there important win32 compilers that don't support C99 bool? If so, should we let those old win32 tools dictate how we write the Rockbox code?
