Last year Vaughan Kaufman contributed support for Visual Studio 6.
Visual.Studio/VisualStudioFix.h has this part:
------------
#if defined(_VCWIN_)
        #define STATIC_INLINE   static __inline
        #define GLOB_ONLYDIR 0

        #include <io.h>
        #include <direct.h>
        #include <stdbool.h>
        #include <tchar.h>
...
------------

So it would seem that at least earlier version had stdbool.h.  As Microsoft
is well known for backwards (even bug-for-bug) compatibility, it would seem
strange that they would break something like this in later VS version...
