Great!
But wait a moment before committing because unak, the maintainer for
mswin32, opposes. I regard mswin32 platform important and maintenance
by unak is necessary for Ruby's working on it.  I can not accept any
solution on win32 which unak oppose.

So libffi-msvc is not acceptable as a solution for dl because
libffi-msvc is not an official release of the libffi project. (Is this
right?)

I talked with unak and some committers about the problem, and
recommend  the following solution.
* Imports your work as ext/dl-ffi
* Renames ext/dl as ext/dl2
* Writes a wrapper library ext/dl. It loads ext/dl-ffi if available,
or loads ext/dl2.

Is this possible?  I want to help if I have something to do for it.
