Cool! Applied. 

As the patch broke the support of Tiger :-( i created another
repository named cl-objc-leopard. I also added you to the list of
author on the website

I also created another repository named cl-objc-libffi with my last
patches and the support of libffi, a little step forward the
integration with objective-cl.

I know this issue, but I think it is good to let the user to choose
the release policy to adopt. Maybe It would be better to show the
different uses in an example.
