Re: [Chicken-users] return a float from foreign function

Just ensure your functions have prototypes as required.  I mentioned
libffi only as part of the general discussion of calling conventions,
because it comes up when writing interfaces to foreign languages.
Even when Chicken is configured to use libffi internally, it doesn't
apply to foreign calls.  (No pun intended.)  That's what lazy-ffi
does, but don't go down that path either :)
