Content preview: CFFI 0.11.0 was released last week. This includes cffi-libffi,
which makes FSBV obsolete. The new versions of Antik and GSLL now use cffi-libffi
instead of FSBV. For most users of these systems, this is an internal detail
and unimportant. However, for the past 6 months at least, I have been using
and updating these versions and not the FSBV version. So, with these branches
merged into the master branch, a number of patches and fixes have made there
way into the master branch. I expect in the March update to quicklisp, all
these changes will be in the new dist. [...]

Waiting for CFFI to be finalized blocked a number of projects. One is
to split up Antik into different systems instead of making one system
that loads everything (grid, physical quantities, etc.). Another is
dataflow definitions (and coordination with org-mode) that I am just
starting on. In GSLL, I've started to look at the definition of
physical constants. I don't know when I'll have time to work on these
or when they'll be complete, but I'll update when I have something.
