I have an interest in seeing the ruby bindings for Augeas run in JRuby.
So.. that means moving the ruby bindings over to FFI. Since I suck at C
anyways, seems like a good move all around :).

I have taken a first cut [1] at this, and the tests pass. I need to work
on packaging, but I wanted to get feedback on what was there.

Any comments are welcome.

I know next to nothing about FFI, and don't know how widely available it
is. Since the Ruby bindings are so important for the Ruby/Puppet
integration, I am very hesitant to muck with it until we're sure that
FFI is as widely available as plain old C Ruby bindings.

I asked the same question on the puppet list and did not get any feedback.


But I'd be open to maintaining the bindings in parallel, and dreaming up
some packaging magic to switch between the two (not sure what that magic
would look like, though ;)

I just submitted the ruby-ffi package for review [3]. I am happy to sit on these changes for now until I know I need them. They build and work. I will keep them up to date with the main ruby ones as necessary.
