Yes Alien is the way to go.
I wonder why you think that. Alien is - mac only (you may say it's not true, because one could build a unix or windows vm that supports it, but that didn't happen in the past 1.5 years) - x86 only
I'm not knowledgeable enough but I refer here to some discussions I got with eliot when we were at amsterdam. The comments I heard on the FFI implementation were not that positive. Now may be there is a road for FFI and Alien and it would be good to have the extension lukas did in 3.9. Stef
