XTC: eXtended & Typed Controls for wxHaskell

The XTC library provides a typed interface to several wxHaskell controls.

    * radio view (typed radio box)
    * single-selection list view (typed single-selection list box)
    * muliple-selection list view (typed multiple-selection list box)
    * choice view (typed choice box)
    * value entry (typed text entry) 

XTC controls keep track of typed values and items, rather than being string
based. Selections in XTC controls consist of actual values instead of indices. 

my comments
-----------
The XTC library was developed in Utrecht University, and has been used
in a large wxhaskell appplication called Dazzle.  You can read more
about XTC and Dazzle in their Haskell Workshop paper from 2005
   http://www.cs.uu.nl/dazzle/f08-schrage.pdf

I attach a small screenshot and sample code (the sample code is
slightly updated from the hackage version to better convey the
possible usefulness of XTC)
