quite possibly but, if you're using an int to represent a boolean
value, obviously you're paying for it, anyway. i just mentioned it
since both nfsmount.h and nfsmount.c use the "bool_t" data type and,
as is my nature, i'm a big fan of consistency.
and declaring boolean variables as some type of actual "boolean"
definitely improves the code aesthetics and, possibly, type checking.
anyway, it's your call.
