I think this rather arguing ticket as the bool is not exist in plain C, 
and duplication functions seems to me not good idea.
I think this ticket https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6185 is good for: 
1. building GDAL, 2. Testing via TraviC on GitHub. By the way the libpng 
version is 1.6.21 or maybe higher.

Anyhow, you have to try to build gdal and test it with autotests from 
appropriate folder.

Yes, certainly. But JSON are very simple. Also GeoJSON spec. can be 
found here http://geojson.org/Thanks and regards,
