Actually, FFI works on Linux as it ever has. Just get SqueakFFIPrims.so
from somewhere (Andreas' original release still works fine:
http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/FFI), put it somewhere it
can be found (cwd does nicely), and off you go - I just tried

	X11Display coloredRectangles

Simply because it's "disabled" in the build process does not mean it wont
work. And it *is* a heck of a security hole. It is so dangerous that we
want everyone who wants to use it spend a little effort to get.
