You can also change the version numbers at the top of Makefile.maint.
But then you would be aware that you are using different autotools
versions than I am using, and that this may cause breakage.

At some point there will be a libffcall release. (The libsigsegv release is
waiting for Windows 64-bit problems to be resolved.)

Does not make a lot of sense now, unless you are covering several different
CPU types (say, sparc, powerpc, and arm, or so). The libffcall testsuite
is more thorough than clisp's FFI testsuite, IIRC.

https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libsigsegv/ -> Source code -> Use Git.

Good. Thanks for the confirmation.
