Thanks for the reply Justin.

I realise now after doing some research last night that CFFI really only
provides FFI for C, and that wrapping would be required. I may look into
this myself at some point, but fortunately I wont have any free time
until near the end of the year.

Was any similar alternative library identified that might offer the same
capabilities and provide a more accessible interface for Lisp?
