I don't know why I didn't see this before, but I found this repo and
will be doing some testing this morning to see if I can get Feedzirra
functioning with it.

http://github.com/trotter/curb-ffi/tree/master

I'd appreciate if anyone with more knowledge on FFI could take a look
at the repo and chime in and perhaps give it the yay or nay on if it
looks like a viable FFT'ized curb lib.

Thanks!
