Correct. There's a work-in-progress integration of FSBV[1] into
CFFI[2] that adds such support via libffi. [1] might be the most
useful to Frank if he's in a hurry.

Just to emphasize, the standalone FSBV works, the integration project is very early and probably doesn't even compile. The syntax will likely change somewhat when the integration is ready. I just noticed that the repo.or.cz gitweb page is giving an error so I sent an email to the admins. There's a mirror at http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/gsll/fsbv.git;a=summary;js=1 but it seems to be lagging by one commit.
