Huge fan of FFI (I use it to wrap/test all my shared libraries, mysql ext, etc..), but the problem of cross platform compilation still exists. I write a shared library and an FFI interface, but packaging it for use on Windows/*nix is still a pain (for compilation during install). Is there anything that solves for compilation across implementations and platforms? (FFI makes the interface simple after that)
