I remember back a mail from Stan about that.

Ok, I see. But what would be the steps to start with dynamic libs for 
libffi, boehm, libgcj? In boehm there is some preliminary support in the 
next release. Needs some coding though. For libffi I guess I would be 
the one who should start? And in the same turn also for libgcj.
In these three you don't have compatibilities ;)
