There is ongoing work to replace a lot of ancient types like BOOL,
USHORT etc. by sal_... types, with the exception that BOOL/FASTBOOl
will be replaced by bool.
"BOOL -> bool" will cause problems. Memory usage for "new BOOL[n]",
mixed use with sal_Bool (pointers, references), the occasional "special"
value (SfxChildWinInfo::bVisible). Shouldn't we go the safe way and
change BOOL to sal_Bool instead?
In result I expect that most "BOOL" can be replaced by "bool", while
some of them will become "sal_Bool". The misused "BOOLS" that in fact
are 8 Bit integer variables(*) IMHO should become a sal_uInt8/16 just to
show that they are *not* boolean.
Anyway the change from BOOL to whatever is nothing that can be done just
with a script. That's different for e.g. USHORT.

Mathias
(*) The famous cases where a "BOOL" parameter was used as an 8 Bit
integer to keep (formal) compatibility.
