[cffi-devel] uffi compatible library

[Gustavo]

Hello,

Sorry, my definition of "tomorrow" and "day duration" is a little distorted
:3

My previous patch was kind of messy, so I decided to restart everything from
the concept. Instead of the argument directions to be handled by the macro
expansion and (complicated) auxiliary functions, it is now handled (mainly)
by translate-objects and expand-to-foreign-dyn.

Also, tests for varargs functions are a bit hackish because I don't know how
to create a C function with variadic argument. I don't know if it will work
on all systems. Anyway, the tests are there, just test them and see if they
work ;)

Gustavo.
