'ffi' stand for "foreign function interface". It is a library that allows you to dynamically forge a function call at runtime for any function, any CPU (almost) and whatever how arguments are pushed on the stack or CPU registers. Without this library, it is impossible to cleanly implement EXTERN function calls in Gambas (and any other interpreters).
