As long libffi is compilable with Visual Studio and a makefile for it
is provided (maybe libffivs.mk) things could work.

Please take a look here:

http://github.com/ffi/ffi/blob/master/ext/ffi_c/extconf.rb#L28-39

And here:

http://github.com/ffi/ffi/tree/master/ext/ffi_c/

for libffi.*.mk files

Then try compiling and running the specs with a Visual Studio built
version of Ruby.

(gem install ffi --development will install all the dependencies)
