Description:
Some projects like pypy include libffi simply as <ffi.h>. However, this will lead to errors as libffi installs itself to /usr/lib/$pkgname-$pkgver/include/ by default. I request two symlinks be added: /usr/include/ffi.h -> /usr/lib/$pkgname-$pkgver/ffi.h and /usr/include/ffitarget.h -> /usr/lib/$pkgname-$pkgver/ffitarget.h.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  libffi contains a .pc file that includes the correct CFLAGS. Applications should query pkg-config to get the correct CFLAGS.
