"salbool: a rewriting plugin that flags most uses of sal_Bool."

If you want to use it to clean up uses of sal_Bool in some module M:

After a full build, do

> make $M.clean
> cp compilerplugins/clang/store/salbool.cxx compilerplugins/clang/
> make -k $M
> make -k PARALLELISM=1 COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL='literaltoboolconversion salbool' UPDATE_FILES=$M $M
> make -k $M
> make -k PARALLELISM=1 COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL='literaltoboolconversion salbool' UPDATE_FILES=$M $M
> ...
> rm compilerplugins/clang/salbool.cxx
> make -k check
> make -k COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=literaltoboolconversion check
> make -k check
> make -k COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=literaltoboolconversion check
> ...

i.e., first use enough iterations of running the salbool rewriter over 
module M to get that module cleaned up.  Also use the 
literaltoboolconversion rewriter in those runs, to automatically fix 
cases like salbool rewrote

  sal_Bool b = sal_False;

to

  bool b = sal_False;

which literatltoboolconversion on the next run rewrites to

  bool b = false;

Use UPDATE_FILES=$M to also do the rewriting in the include files of 
module M (requires PARALLELISM=1). Interleave with non-rewriting "make 
-k $M" runs, to generate .o files for those .cxx files that have no more 
errors (as rewriting runs don't generate .o files, so would needlessly 
re-process those .cxx files again and again).

Once the module itself is clean, disable the salbool plugin again and 
clean up any problems introduced into dependent modules (like a virtual 
function override derived from module M needs to change its return type 
from sal_Bool to bool).

Some errors cannot be rewritten, so you need to fix those manually 
between runs.  But note that salbool will rewrite a function declaration 
in an include file only when working on a .cxx file where it also sees a 
definition (to avoid some needless temporary compilation errors that 
prevent the rewriter from doing its work), and will otherwise flag the 
function declaration in the include file as a warning/error, so don't 
fix such a case manually but wait for a (subsequent) run to get to the 
corresponding .cxx and rewrite the include file automatically.

Modules up to toolkit have already been processed.  (See "make 
dump-deps-sort" for a rough estimate of "up to.")
