Very cool :) The early examples worked fine in JRuby but this one seems 
to blow up in MemoryPointer. I'll make sure wmeissner knows about it.

I know he's taken a step back from adding new features in 0.2.0 to make 
sure both JRuby and ruby-ffi are compatible again. Hopefully 0.2.0 will 
be out soon along with JRuby 1.1.6.
