Perhaps I could contribute an (ugh) set of macros which taking standard
types expand out to ffi_type stuff?
I think it's pretty much essential if swig is to be able to use it without
becoming too platform specific itself or being tied too strongly to the
state of libffi.

Are they?

Why ffi_type_sint and not ffi_type_int ?
