/* Converts buffers from one type into another.
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Conversions from types DOUBLE or FLOAT to 
 * others types are all implemented. I hope
 * I do not make mistakes.
 *
 * - When a real value is converted into an integer
 *   one, we take the nearest integer, i.e.
 *   (int)(real value - 0.5) for negative
 *   numbers, and (int)(real value + 0.5) for 
 *   positive ones.
 *
 * - Some conversions are not yet implemented.
 *
 * - When types and pointers are equal, nothing is
 *   done.
