On a Debian system, many packages are owned by root.
There's really a need for a ready-to-use uffi.asd that uses cffi-compat.
CFFI might also become a Debian package one day :)

Interesting switch. I once had cl-gd running with my uffi own wrappers, but
there definitively is a problem in UFFI with nested structs vs. pointers to
structs.
I think this is precisely why CFFI works better than UFFI with nested structs:
since it's all pointers, a nested struct yields a pointer, similar to a pointer
to a struct within the struct, so both are handled equally well.
