 Actually, this is the default location of libffi and jsext will have
 problems on all systems, i.e. even Linux. The proper way would be to fix
 jsext to use pkg-config. The port java/jamvm shows how it works.

 Probably we could hard link the headers in /usr/local/lib/libffi... to
 /usr/local/include additionally. I'll think about it.
