Do we want to install any of libffi?

What I'd like to see is the copy of libffi in gcc be treated purely as
an implementation detail for libgcj (and whatever other language
libraries might want to use it), but then have separate standalone
libffi releases as a real library.  I think Anthony is working toward
this goal, but I'm not sure where things stand at the moment.
