Description
Mark Evenson suggests the use of JNA. I believe this project needs to become available in a JDK, but indeed it does look promising.

For #14, I didn't know JNA either, but essentially it seems to be just what
I thought to be necessary in my first mail --- a generic JNI stub that builds
a stack frame and calls an arbitrary C function. Since it builds on top of
JNI, you should be able to use it with existing JRE/JDK editions. If you do
use JNA, it would become a requisite for the yet-to-be-seen ffi for abcl.

It looks like Luís Oliveira has [done the hard work][1]. Not sure what the best way to support this in ABCL would be.
Maybe I should really start mirroring ASDF packages with ABCL-specific patches until we get those patches merged upstream. But then I would like to ABCL's support for ASDF up to current by implementing the long form of CLOS's DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION. Chicken, meet egg.

CFFI has already built on top of JNA to provide C interoperability on ABCL. Closing ticket.
