Time entry

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Scott.  The clock face is certainly the most familiar for users  
and does take up less real estate.  I haven't entirely discounted it  
but I feel it doesn't lend itself very well to time entry on a  
computer.  It really needs two hands for it to be the familiar clock  
face we're all used to (which I'm guessing would complicate the code  
quite a bit) and clock faces in general don't differentiate between AM  
and PM times.  I guess that's why I'm leaning more towards the slider  
approach - certainly less familiar than a clock face but feels very  
comfortable nonetheless and I think I can find the real estate.  I'll  
probably implement it as a small button (maybe looking like a clock!)  
that will popup a window with the sliders in it.

Either way, thanks a lot for the code.
