Hello.  I recently resumed making libffi releases.  In Fedora, somebody
recently patched GNU Smalltalk to use the system's libffi package.  I
think, however, that it was probably a hack.  It would be nice if the
upstream project provided a configuration option to use the system's
pre-installed libffi.  Thanks!
