Any missing support has to be fixed in up to three places: libffi,
alien and ctypesgen-json. In this case, libffi supports both long long
and long double where available, while alien and ctypesgen-json
support neither. Needless to say, this is a reasonably good case,
since libffi is the hard one to fix!

Patches welcome, of course.

The short answer is: nothing particularly fancy, but the real answer
is that I'll see as I go.
