First darcs checkpoint: alpha3

Just to show how far the widgets have come, the first darcs checkpoint
is approaching and it will be at alpha3.

By that stage we will:

 *  be using the simplex core
 *  have functional text widgets
 *  have a working implementation of most widgets
 *  be relatively settled on widget structure

The code that is already in there is pretty good.  And I have a mostly
working combo in my local repo.  And will be producing menu widgets
tomorrow.  It's getting fun again. ;)

I'm thinking that widgets beta1 will be the first publicly announced
release.  (The alpha releases are relatively informal internal things.)

Beta1 is on hold until we have outlined what widgets are part of the
final release, and have an implementation of the vast majority.  It'll
also be a soft-freeze (so the code needs to be okayed by Adam) which
means that the core API needs to have been declared stable by Adam.

I'll be _very_ disappointed if we haven't released beta1 and made a name
for ourselves by the end of May.
