Enhancement: Support 'bool'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be most excellent if you would support 'bool' return and argument 
types, as ctypes has a c_bool: 
http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html#ctypes.c_bool.

Currently, in my library, I am losing my functions with this type:
Error: <input>:16: Syntax error at 'bool'

This is my patch for boolean support for ctypesgen. Please note that the actual 
parser (parsetab.py) should still be generated from cgrammar.py.

Note that I first submitted this as part of the patch for issue #43, but got a 
recommendation to create separate patches for separate functionality (I agree).

I also added a test for the bool type.

I fixed my patch for the bool type so that it conforms to section 7.16 of the C 
spec (as far as I understand now), i.e. the bool keyword is _Bool, and the 
macro definitions from <stdbool.h> (or any custom macros) are required to make 
the bool 'keyword' work.

Changes look good but the test for this new feature is failing on my machine. 
Following up with Ronald via email.

New patch that includes parsetab.py, which is generated from cgrammar.py.
