FFM goes final

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

I'll chime in with all the others and express how impressed I am by the 
FFM work done by you and the rest of Panama. I often fiddle around in 
the gray zone between Java and native code; not only job-wise in the JDK 
build, but also when hacking Java in my spare time. I really like what I 
see with FFM, and I have the utmost understanding of how hard it is to 
wrangle ancient, odd, weird native code interfaces into a useful and 
uniform shape. You have done an excellent job in a difficult area.

Let's go out and start making use of FFM!
