You mean like zlib?

Do you think this might be hindered by the typedef problem and/or the fact
you can't (easily) write an ffi to a C function that uses ... ?

I looked at zlib, and it basically does the same trick as GNU MP, so it looks
like an interface could be written easily to that(which I might do, actually).

Also, what do you think about libraries such as libpng and libjpg? These
are a bit stranger since they often return allocated memory of some structure
or another.

ooo!!! A FFI could be made to libbfd and the opcode library. That would go
well with the nature of chicken.
