Not being libffi crew, i would still like to point out 2 things:
1) libffi is a hard dependency for GTK+ stack, and GTK+ stack is known to
be reliably buildable with MSVS.
2) Threre are meson[1] build definitions[2] for libffi, and meson has some
support for MSVS projects (although i would probably guess that ninja +
cl.exe is better supported, but that's just a guess)
