To enable this, set UseLibFFI=YES in mk/build.mk. The main advantage here is that this reduces the porting effort for new platforms: libffi works on more architectures than our current adjustor code, and it is probably more heavily tested. We could potentially replace our existing code, but since it is probably faster than libffi (just a guess, I'll measure later) and is already working, it doesn't seem worthwhile. Right now, you must have libffi installed on your system. I used the one supplied by Debian/Ubuntu.
