I implemented int* versions of the Attach methods.  I also added 
support for wxSlider.  I didn't test any the recent changes, so it 
may not work.  I really need to head to bed.

Another possibility is adding Attach methods like this:

    Attach(wxString name, double *ptr, double divisor);

When the values come out of the slider it automatically performs the 
division for you.  The sliders could be phrased in terms of percent 
or something like that.  The XRC resource controls the range and 
labels on the slider.

Another possibility would be implementing our own double capable 
sliders. Probably wouldn't be too hard, but not a trivial task 
either.
