Joseph, I will do so as soon as some things are cleared up. But I need 
AG to help here since libffi is still not part of gcc.

I'd be ready to submit the autofriends conversions to gcc, but without 
approval nothing happens.
Also, I do not update install.texi with the old version's notice. It's 
not in my authority to do so.

My point here is also not to do the work twice. I wait since a longer 
time for the clearance of the license issue.

Personally I hope libffi gets assigned to gcc soon and we can get in sync.

If people want me to do otherwise I will.

Andreas
