Qt 4's qglobal.h defined TRUE and FALSE:

#  ifndef TRUE
#   define TRUE true
#   define FALSE false
#  endif

Qt 5 does no such thing, they were removed in
 
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/commit/158f39ec7870c54ff3a15f72fe151062d6daa172

Those macros had existed since Qt 1, from before the C++ standardisation, when 
some compilers did not have an actual bool type. We thought that they weren't 
needed in 2012 for C++ code. 

For Subsurface's C code, as long as we include C99's <stdbool.h>, we're fine. 
It does this in C mode:

#define bool    _Bool
#define true    1
#define false   0

So for Subsurface code: use bool, true, false (all lowercase).
