Inject JavaScript to explore native apps on Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS

It seems like a neat idea however I have encountered some problems.

- I can't install it with `pip` instead of `easy_install`. It would be nice to support this as well.

    $ sudo pip install frida
    [sudo] password for ***: 
    Downloading/unpacking frida
      Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement frida
    No distributions at all found for frida
    Storing complete log in /home/***/.pip/pip.log

- After installing with `easy_install` I now have problems with running a simple example:

    $ frida-trace -i 'recv*' ls
    Failed to attach: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/bin/frida-trace", line 9, in <module>
        load_entry_point('frida==1.0.5', 'console_scripts', 'frida-trace')()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/frida-1.0.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/frida/tracer.py", line 525, in main
        frida.shutdown()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/frida-1.0.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/frida/__init__.py", line 13, in shutdown
        get_device_manager()._manager.close()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/frida-1.0.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/frida/__init__.py", line 22, in get_device_manager
        import _frida
    ImportError: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

- `View on Github` links to the organization page and I'm not sure where to submit these issues. (frida-core? frida-python? frida-tracer?)

Thanks a lot! This appears to be an issue with the Frida build system and the Linux buildbot slave. We're investigating and will hopefully have a bugfix release out in the next few hours.

Hope we'll get the pip issue sorted in the near future, need to do some more research into what's possible when not relying on eggs for binary releases (ran into issues when we tried to use bdist_dumb, so we postponed it for later).
