(With *these* hands! ;-)
Seriously, I wrote it by hand. That's no excuse, of course. Anybody
interested in converting it into a better format? (texinfo?)
I absolutely agree with you: the documentation is BAD. I'm just too
lazy,
as a matter of fact. But I will try to address this, I promise.
Would you have specific things regarding the FFI in mind? Or are you
talking about a more comprehensive introduction section?
I'm open for suggestions.

That's strange. What is the output of `configure; make' on your
machine? (Actually I have no confirmed builds on NetBSD so far,
so perhaps this is a new situation/platform to take care of).
I'm sure we can fix this.
