[Haskell-cafe] Packing Haskell values into a C array

[Niklas Hambüchen]

Using a Storable vector is what I mostly do.

It goes nicely with rendering arrays of objects using OpenGL
`BufferObject`s, using `fromVector` from
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/GLUtil-0.6.4/docs/Graphics-GLUtil-BufferObjects.html#v:fromVector.
