I should've mentioned I tested Jon's patch on Cygwin.  It passed the
libffi tests, except for structs (which we don't need).  I did not test
closures.

I'd question the _ffi_call_SYSV entry point, since this is diffrent from
the SYSV ABI.  Perhaps it should be _ffi_call_WIN32 with the appropriate
changes in ffi.c.  Also, you should look at the changes in
Makefile.am.  Otherwise OK.
