Distribution:
Who wants to use "true" or "false" in the preprocessor anyway?  What are
you going to do:  #if true ... ?

In setting compiler directives, what's so bad about 1 and 0 (they
generally tend to be somewhat isolated and the point should be clear
anyway):

#define qDebug 1
#define qUseOptimizations 0

and so on.
