I need the extra precision provided by the double float type when I use
gluLookAt() and glTranslated(), so that the ModelView matrix is updated
with all available precision.

However, can I assume the operations on the ModelView matrix will always be
done in double precision (as requested) or some OpenGL drivers can be
stubborn and do all calculations in float.

Thanks.

J.-S.
