So "broken" is a little harsh.

Well, not "his" header file, exactly, but I'll let that go. The simplest thing to do is to rename that field in xf86cfg/loader.h. As for the field in common/xf86Opt.h, that header is only used by server code, and server code shouldn't ever use curses. That leaves some future #include <stdbool.h> in server code, but we can cross that bridge when/if we get there. In the meantime, the API issue is avoided.
