The file 'wnpp-projects' just needs to be altered so that it pulls in version
1.0 (which I've already requested[1]) and it might be a good idea to remove
CFFI as a dependency so that users are presented with a "system not found"
error (rather than a more obscure compilation error) when they try to compile
elephant without UFFI installed.  Again, this is a case of simply altering the
elephant entry in the dependencies file.  I can request this as well if you
like.

Beyond that, I don't see how else clbuild can be 'patched'.

Done.
