pushed, though i'm somewhat worried about changes to virtual methods...
but they should give "overloaded virtual" warnings if gone wrong?

except:

these failed to apply here:

 sal_Bool->bool in lotuswordpro
 sal_Bool->bool in svl::SfxUndoAction

that sounds like a horrible idea to me: the use of overloading for
binary serialization of integers is a recipe for disaster in the first
place, because the serialization format can be changed accidentally then
by changing the type of some variable, or worse, some typedef or return
type of a function that happens to be used for serialization.

please add a WriteBool() method or something like that, and hopefully
the compiler will point you to the places where it has to be used.

(also, a week or two i foolishly said that adding the overload
OUStringBuffer::append(bool) can't break anything, but moggi had to
revert that because it did.)

these depend on that operator:

 sal_Bool->bool in svl::CntBoolItem
