[Haskell-cafe] Loading a texture in OpenGL

[Clark Gaebel]

Awesome. Thanks!

As a follow up question, how do I add a finalizer to a normal variable?
OpenGL returns an integer handle to your texture in graphics memory, and
you have to call deleteObjectNames on it. Is there any way to have this
automatically run once we lose all references to this variable (and all
copies)?
