The Perl bindings do not build on my Debian/testing box. This is not a
regression from 1.7.19 since the problem is also present there. The
1.7.19 Perl bindings did build when I signed the tarball but I was using
the older Debian/stable at the time. The problem is:

In file included from core.c:731:0:
core.c: In function ‘SWIG_AsCharPtrAndSize’:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20/CORE/handy.h:124:34: error: ‘bool’ undeclared (first use in this function)

The header line in question is:

#define cBOOL(cbool) ((cbool) ? (bool)1 : (bool)0)

The core.c in the tarball is generated by SWIG 2.0.4 and has:

#ifdef bool
  #undef bool
#endif

The Perl bindings do build in 1.8.13 where SWIG 2.0.9 is used and core.c
has:

#ifdef bool
  /* Leave if macro is from C99 stdbool.h */
  #ifndef __bool_true_false_are_defined
    #undef bool
  #endif
#endif

The Perl bindings also build with the system SWIG 2.0.12 as that
generates the same code snippet as 2.0.9.
