Hi Etienne,

 today I've tested successfully the following types:

1. ffi_type_double    (SVM_TYPE_DOUBLE)
2. ffi_type_sint64    (SVM_TYPE_LONG)
3. ffi_type_uint8    (SVM_TYPE_BOOLEAN)
4. ffi_type_sint32    (SVM_TYPE_INT)
5.ffi_type_sint16    (SVM_TYPE_SHORT)

The port of the ffi library, to the MSVC compiler, seems to work fine:-)
The key of all, is the MSVC win32.c assembly file, which contains a 1:1 
translation of the GCC win32s. file.

I wrote set of tests which can be run as an automatic test-suite. Also, 
I wrote some notes which I'll post next monday, as a final report of 
this job.

What am I supposed to do now?
