Due to some major changes in setup.py around libffi, I've had to re-implement

Rupert Nash added the comment:

Fundamentally, the problem appears to be that configure uses pkgconfig to find
the libffi include directory, while setup.py's detect_ctypes only uses the
global list of library directories

I can see three options:
a default encoding should be applied
the documentation updated to make clear
