Ok, it should be ready now, and it's in CVS already.

I haven't made a separate patch since changes happened in libghemical as 
well ; I decided to permanently store the generated atom/object 
identifiers instead of constantly looking for them from a container (that 
could degrade graphics performance).

The idea goes as in the original patch so that no pointers are any more 
pushed into the OpenGL name stack, but identifiers or "keys" instead. 
These "keys" have been registered before use, and the "key"/pointer pairs 
are stored into a container for quick search. The "keys" are pushed into 
the OpenGL name stack, and in selections-related operations the keys that 
are obtained from OpenGL are used for searching a corresponding pointer 
from the container.

According to my testing everything works as before ; please test on the 
64-bit platforms then...
