control-timeout: deprecated?

[Thomas DuBuisson]

Erik,
control-event 1.0.0.0 is uploaded [1].  Haddock documents will be
available in due time.  If you don't have any fancy needs then just
use Control.Event.Relative.addEvent and give it a time (in ms) and an
action :: IO ().  Control.Event and Control.Event.Timeout are still
there.  Let me know if you have issues.
