[Bug-gnulib] Rewrite stdbool_.h during build?

Is there a good reason that the stdbool module uses sed to rewrite the
@HAVE__BOOL@ tag into a 0 or 1 when creating stdbool.h using a
$(HAVE__BOOL) variable subbed into the Makefile via m4/stdbool.m4
rather than just AC_DEFINEing HAVE__BOOL in the usual idiom?

M$VC++, as one might expect of any compiler, not just an M$ tool,
breaks when it sees:

#if address@hidden@
. . .

Windows doesn't have any standard file search/replace tool like sed,
so it would be much easier if I could just copy the file stdbool_.h
file to stdbool.h on that platform to avoid creating new tool
dependencies in the CVS build.  Would a patch to switch over to #ifdef
HAVE__BOOL be accceptable?  I can't find anyplace else that is
referencing the $(HAVE__BOOL) Makefile macro.
