It would surely be neat to have an example of cffi/jna. What kind of example? Once you get it running, it should work as every other CFFI platform and you can following the CFFI User Manual.
A documented example how to get it running with abcl's cffi implementation. We get this question from time to time, so an example is amply warranted. We can point to CFFI docs as "further info", but the "get it running" part is important. I can write such an example myself, no worries.
Critique the [cffi-jna-abcl][1] instructions on our wiki until I make them clear enough? Essentially one first downloads and adds "jna.jar" to the ABCL classpath. Then one uses ASDF-INSTALL to install the ASDF components it takes to get CFFI installed. The required patches are present [in my adhoc patch repository][asdf-abcl].
