Of course it's possible, but Structure support is even weaker in the
non-windows version, where libffi is used.  You cannot even pass
structures by value currently, and it would require quite some changes
to make it work there.

I would prefer to add this thing when libffi has been integrated more
closely, so that it can also be used on Windows.
