Whoever wrote this program apparently thought it was okay to make
unwarranted assumptions - does the project web page only work with Internet
Explorer?  :-)
So if you want to port it, it seems to me you have to fix two things:
1) define your own boolean type (e.g. typedef char MyBool;)  and globally
replace "bool" with "MyBool". The compile & see what breaks.
2) fix the configure script
There's probably a better way of doing this using the configure facilities.
