you're not going to be deleting the hundreds and hundreds of *uses* of
TRUE and FALSE (not yet, anyway) but, at the very least, by adding two
lines to types.h, you can delete all those redundant *definitions* and
make sure that nothing breaks. (it shouldn't, of course, but it's
always nice to be sure.)
Doesn't seem very worthwhile, and it legitimises this definition we're
trying to get rid of.
*now*, once that's done, you can start going through the tree and
doing the conversion from upper case to lower case, little by little,
subsystem by subsystem.
I don't see why your patch is needed before the individual conversions?
the predictable response will be, "you really should do that all at
once."
You don't need to do it all at once.
