[reactive] Composable adapters and multiple event sources

[Conal Elliott]

Hi Pierre,

1. I'm starting to work on a Reactive/wxHaskell for use with Phooey, GuiTV,
and Eros.  I'd love to see a gtk2hs adapter available, and I imagine it
would be done similarly to wxHaskell's.

2. The whole adapter interface is very recent and will likely evolve.  I'm a
big fan of compositionality, so composing adapters interests me.

Regards, - Conal
