I should probably do a refresh of Control-Event - it was right when I
was starting to learn proper Haskell style; I soon discovered STM and
used it for everything... even when I shouldn't. To cut down on any
investigation you might do here is a rundown:
Control-Event uses absolute times (control-timeout uses relative) -
this can be slower, but might be what you want and allows you to add
events via STM actions (no IO after the fact). Control-Event also has
a control-timeout compatability shim (Control.Event.TImeout). On the
other hand, it still uses old-time and really should be ported to the
'time' package along with getting proper version bounds in the .cabal
file.

Yes, it's just missing a maintainer, you're welcome to take it over if you like. However, you should probably take a look at http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/control-event
I'm actually interested in the network-dns package. I might try port that to control-event and only revive control-timeout if that fails.
