[cfe-dev] [PATCH] mark need for struct return ABI in block header

[Fariborz Jahanian]

Two comments.

Please remove comments in source referring to SnowLeopard.
Generally, to avoid test failures on some unknown platforms, try to  
avoid dependency on
include files (stdbool.h etc.).
OK with these changes.
