[vtk-developers] int to bool changes

Hi all,

I have another patch here:

<https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/3721>

To slowly but surely replace the many 'int' in VTK that should be 'bool'.

Basically there's a vtkTypeBool typedef that is currently mapped to 'int', but can eventually be mapped to 'bool'.

I'd like to be able to set up a nightly build where it uses real 'bool'.  How should we accomplish that?  A new CMake build option to change how that typedef is defined?  Or maybe use 'bool' automatically if VTK_LEGACY_REMOVE is 1?  Or...?

Thanks,
