Hi Kenny, I'll look at this some more on Saturday and Monday. In
general, convert-from-uffi-type has been "icky" code as it grew with
more tasks thrust upon it. In a rework of UFFI (UFFI v2.0), this is
one area that needs to be refactored. Currently, if something works,
but is somewhat icky, I think that is okay.

In a new version of UFFI, this code will be overhauled. Also, many of
the low-level UFFI functions won't be needed as a high-level
of abstraction macros are implemented. Alas, I don't suspect I'll have
time to work on UFFI v2.0 in the near future.
