This is exactly my concern. Because it uses ctypes_platform, it's 
keeping alive code, which I would like to get rid off. Also, given 
ll2ctypes working it's now possible to test rffi version on top of 
cpython, hence I see no point in keeping ctypes version available. 
Please state your concerns, why this cannot be moved to rffi in source code.
