[plt-scheme] opengl binding

Got it working with glVertex2f, however I'd rather have it working like:

(define point (make-vector (<calculate x>) (<calulate y>) ))
(glVertex2fv point)

instead of having to do

(define point (make-vector (<calculate x>) (<calulate y>) ))
(glVertex2f (vector-ref point 0) (vector-ref point 1))

My own opengl binding takes care of this implicitly. It even
accepts lists of numbers there.

BTW. I needed to include opengl-enum.scm from my own
binding to get the right enumerations.

I personally like

  gl-projection-matrix

better then

  GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX

Would it be an option to adopt the constants from opengl-enum.scm?

Best whishes,
Hans
