I can't quite understand why you would want to extend Mathematica in 
this particular way, unless perhaps you had not realised that the 
Mathematica Fourier command uses the FFT algorithm if the data length is 
a power of two.

More generally, most of my extensions happen via J/Link and Java, which 
gives a very clean interface. It is also possible in 8.0 to call C code 
in a DLL directly (i.e. with no inter-process overhead) and although I 
have not made use of this yet, this feature obviously has interesting 
possibilities.
