Ok.

In the past we had some issues with unsigned char (I not able to find
the mail at this moment)...but in any case I not a fan of this
solution..

Since current C API consumers won't have any problem changing the API
from bool to int (they are defined to be same), and current c++ users
will have solved the issues you are describing I'm going to prepare the
change. 

I'll send you full tested previews of vortex and axl so you can check
them. 

Thanks Martin. Cheers!
