Vector Arithmetic and Primitives ...

[marten]

I talked with Sebastian Heidbrink about the OpenGL interface for VASmalltalk and we looked for vector arithmetics both to be fast and suitable for transfering data to external C-based OpenGL API calls.

I was looking at primitives for the first time and thanks to John I was able to create my first primitives. I summarize this two days work in three postings:
