Can you submit this to Ruby FFI, as a bug or on the mailing list? I'm 
not sure Wayne Meissner monitors ruby-talk.

There's some generation logic for at least struct layout, but I'm not 
sure if it does general function wiring. It was written by the Rubinius 
guys, and there's not a lot of documentation for it I could see. Good 
idea though.

I expect we'll see a flurry of fully-wired FFI-based libraries getting 
released one after another very soon here, and each library is one less 
library to wire.
