Thanks for trying it out Sebastien.

I construct a polyhedron from a mesh whose points are doubles ().  I then
convert that to a Nef Polyhedron.  To get my file I just use the Nef <<
operator as the CGAL documentation indicates in section 15.6
(http://www.ics.uci.edu/~dock/manuals/cgal_manual/Nef_3/Chapter_main.html)

I take it from your reply that I shouldn't be using doubles.  I know other
kernels require rings or integers.  But I'm using
Exact_predicates_exact_constructions_kernel which does supports doubles
(http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/Kernel_23_ref/Class_Exact_predicates_exact_constructions_kernel.html).
 
Should I avoid using them anyway?  If so what kernel and number type should
I use, bearing in mind that apart from boolean operations I will also have
to perform many minkowski sums.
