Cool. Grep for "http" in the sources. There are references to two online
emails describing the basics. Yes, we need something better :-)
For some architectures the raw api lets certain arguments be passed directly
in their promoted form rather than by reference. This isn't all that
important. The closure interface is nice to get working, and is required for
gcj's bytecode interpreter to work (which is the libffi user I care most about
:-)
I'm going to try and pop a libffi 2 release out tomorrow -- so any patches
between now and then would be great. I'm sure it will be followed quickly by
2.something when people try it on different architectures (I don't have easy
access to a 390 box, for instance).
