After reading this http://bugs.python.org/issue23085 and remembering struggling having our own patches into cpython's libffi (but not into libffi itself), I wonder, is there any reason any more for libffi being included in CPython?

It has some sort of Windows related patches. No one seems to know whether they're still needed for newer libffi. Unfortunately, ctypes doesn't currently have a maintainer.
