Some C-functions require a function pointer, which is called from the
C-library. The callback mechanism allows to pass something like a pointer to
a Lisp function, which when called from C, the Lisp function is called, see
callbacks.lisp in hello-c and CL-Canvas (
http://www.frank-buss.de/lisp/canvas.html ) for an example.
