Summary: segfault when non-float arg to glColor4v()

Initial Comment:
"Bad things"(TM) happen when a non-float is passed to
glColor4v().  Specific case I ran into: by mistake I
happened to pass a somewhat complex class object as the
fourth element of the vector.  This caused a segfault
immediately (SDL parachute deployed, etc.)  I haven't
tested to see whether this occurs with the class object
in the other vector positions, but I imagine so, seeing
as how this is probably caused by Pyopengl passing the
arguments directly to OpenGL, without checking validity.

Version 3.x guards against this and does not crash on tests with the
situation described.
