Ruby-FFI is a ruby extension for programmatically loading dynamic
libraries, binding functions within them, and calling those functions
from Ruby code. Moreover, a Ruby-FFI extension works without changes
on Ruby and JRuby.

here[http://wiki.github.com/ffi/ffi/why-use-ffi].

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* It supports all C native types
* It supports C structs (also nested), enums and global variables
