Strictly speaking, this changes the behavior when a non-binary value is
specified. For example, if somebody were to write "10" then the old
code would set the value to True and the new code would set the value
to False -- and neither would reject it as they probably should.
That's okay; people who write ambiguous or invalid values deserve what
they get.

If anyone considers that an issue, it would be solved by:

+ curlun->ro = !!ro;
+ curlun->initially_ro = !!ro;

The "!!" where there for that purpose in the first place.
