Well, I am trying to create a ruby method call for a C++ method which
takes as an argument a pointer to a user-defined function. I.e. the C++ method
is like:

    foo (int a, int b, double (*f) (double *, double *), int c);

Thanks for you qsort() example. I'll try to study it and see what I can
get from. My main worry, is that the 'f' function which is passed in foo()
above might be more complicated than a common Ruby block.
