I should've mentioned I tested Jon's patch on Cygwin. It passed the
libffi tests, except for structs (which we don't need). I did not test
closures.
I'd question the _ffi_call_SYSV entry point, since this is diffrent from
the SYSV ABI. Perhaps it should be _ffi_call_WIN32 with the appropriate
changes in ffi.c. Also, you should look at the changes in
Makefile.am. Otherwise OK.
