I did some work to make ctypes+libffi compacter and liberal. http://openlook.org/svnpublic/ctypes-compactffi/ (svn)

I removed sources/gcc and put sources/libffi copied from gcc 4.0.2. And removed all automake-related build processes and integrated them into setup.py. There's still aclocal.m4 in sources/libffi. But it is just identical to libffi's acinclude.m4 which looks liberal.

Well done! Would you like to derive a Python patch from that? Don't worry about MSVC, yet, I will do that once the sources are in the subversion.

(Of course, for due process, it would be better if this code gets integrated into the official ctypes first, and then we incorporate some named/versioned snapshot into /external, and svn cp it into python/trunk from there).
