 Does it still require manual installation of libffi, or is that now
 statically linked with the wheel? (Split the answer by platform and/or
 distribution if necessary.)

 I believe the wheels statically link libffi on all platforms.  It
 certainly must on Windows, because I've done `pip install cryptography`
 there, and it works, and I definitely never installed libffi on that
 platform.  On OS X, there is guaranteed to be a system version of libffi,
 so it's less important there.

 On Linux I would presume static libffi would be a must.
