FFI cleanup

Hi Andreas,

I've seen that you have cleaned up the repository - nice that
OS examples are now separated.

Unfortunately you removed "FFI-Examples-ar.1" from the repository
which broke my builds! We should take care with removing packages
from SqS repos - others may rely on them. The repo looks cleaner
now - but that's not what I would call backward compatible ;)

Fortunately my builds use Metacello and there is already a
new version for the configuration from Mariano/Dale. So i just
had to switch to version 1.2.:

  (ConfigurationOfFFI project version: '1.2') load

>if that doesn't help check (Smalltalk specialObjectsArray copyFrom: 44 to: >48) which should say #(ExternalAddress ExternalStructure ExternalData >ExternalFunction ExternalLibrary).

Would it make sense to have this in a unit test too?

Thx
T.

Oops, I'm sorry for causing this problem. Actually, this package was
obsolete since 2005 but back then I couldn't remove it since our SS
version did not support removals at that time. When I was adding some
stuff a couple of days ago I noticed these ancient versions and decided
to nuke them, not thinking anyone relied on those. Sorry for that.

Even better, it should make it into the FFI initialization itself.
