Hi Sven,

Thanks a lot for bringing OpenGL out of the autoconf dependency, it
would really help with installation on platforms like Windows.

I've also noticed that the decision was made to use solely C types as
instances for VertexComponent, ColorComponent, etc. I'm not sure I
understand this change because:

1. There was no default type for things like GL.Vertex3, and one had
to explicitly annotate the type. Removing Int, Float from the
Component classes would surely break A LOT OF existing code.

2. I don't see a problem adding back Int, Float, Double, etc. as
instances of those Component classes along side of C types.

On the other hand, I'm comfortable with changing types like GLint to C
types, as existing code should have used GLint instead of Int.
