Cool! By the way, the 'proper way' to convert between Double and CDouble is
to use realToFrac:

Prelude Foreign.C.Types =CE=BB> realToFrac (1 :: Double) :: CDouble
1.0

In specific case like this (Double <-> CDouble) it should be equivalent
(but as a user of the library you shouldn't depend on know that). In some
cases it can be a performance hit, but that's what RULEs pragmas are for.
Moreover, some versions of the Haskell OpenGL bindings made it so that
GLdouble was not the same type as CDouble. So the safest way is to use
realToFrac and depend on the library writer to provide RULEs that make it
efficient.

I hope that helps,
Jason
