New submission from Gregory Szorc <gregory.sz...@gmail.com>:

The https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps project is missing a source 
archive release for commits to libffi needed to support building on Windows.

The latest release of libffi is version libffi-3.3.0-rc0-r1, which corresponds 
to 
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps/commit/8ba2b2c38744420a235e3e7f419cce2591aaf331.

There have been a few commits since that release: 
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps/compare/8ba2b2c38744420a235e3e7f419cce2591aaf331...libffi

Most notable is 
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps/commit/ed22026f39b37f892ded95d7b30e77dfb5126334
 because without this commit, the source is not buildable on Windows using 
MSVC, at least not with the  prepare_ffi.bat script in CPython's Git 
repository. (Build fails due to issues with FFI_BUILDING_DLL).

Would it be possible to cut a new tag and upload a source tarball for libffi?
