[SciPy-dev] patch: allow arrayobject.h to compile in c++ compiler

[Andrew Straw]

Sorry, my mistake! It turns out that OpenProducer (part of
OpenSceneGraph) must do "typedef int Bool", and so this, combined with
arrayobject.h's "typedef undefined char Bool" results in the
"redeclaration of int" compiler error.  So, you're right, Bool is not
defined in C++, and its probaby safest to remove my patch.  But would it
make sense to rename Bool to ScipyBool or something less likely to
defined in other source?
