The API is mostly the same.  Virtually everything should already build
with the new version (Debian has tested this already).  But the upgrade
just isn't that simple.  A number of key packages (eg. RPM) depend on
libffi.  My understanding is that we'll have to make a 'compat' version
of libffi using the current version, then build/deploy the new version,
and then go back and rebuild all of the dependent packages before
deleting the compat package.

I just don't have time to do this and am looking for help.
