+Objective-CL now includes its own version of libffi, imported from an
+older version of PyObjC. (The current version only supports x86 and
+PowerPC.) Interestingly, according to the Web, Mac OS X 10.5 includes
+its own version of libffi. This is really good news! We can finally
+rest assured that Objective-CL does not break on Mac OS X because of
+libffi bitrot anytime soon. In order to take advantage of this new
+state of the world, the build system has been changed so as to only
+compile our own version of libffi if we can't find any on the system.
