It goes like this. Hello-C is/was Kenny's UFFI fork which added
callbacks (for Lispworks and Allegro, IIRC) as well as other
utilities. My Summer of Code project was to finish that callback
support, port UFFI/Hello-C to other lisps, etc...

However, when I was about to start this project (I had some code for
callbacks on OpenMCL and CMUCL, IIRC), Christophe Rhodes pointed me to
James Bielman's new project: CFFI.

I liked the James's approach better and decided to work on that instead
of working on UFFI/Hello-C. And it was (and still is) fun.
