* Direct support for pkg-config.
* ffi.from_buffer() takes a new optional first argument that gives the array
type of the result. It also takes an optional keyword argument require_writable
to refuse read-only Python buffers.
* ffi.new(), ffi.gc() or ffi.from_buffer() cdata objects can now be released
at known times, either by using the with keyword or by calling the new ffi.release().
* Accept an expression like ffi.new("int[4]", p) if p is itself another cdata int[4].
* CPython 2.x: ffi.dlopen() failed with non-ascii file names on Posix
* CPython: if a thread is started from C and then runs Python code
(with callbacks or with the embedding solution), then previous versions of cffi
would contain possible crashes and/or memory leaks.
* Support for ffi.cdef(..., pack=N) where N is a power of two.
