1. Improved CountDown timer …

   Lots of improvements over original timer. They can be divided into several
   categories:
   
   - Improve timer handler. The original timer counted seconds via a callback.
     If the computer was suspended, the timer would have been suspended too.
     The new timer continues to run even when the computer is suspended.
   
   - Improved configurability of countdown timer
     Many of its properties can now be configured via object attributes
   
   - Added menu bar:
     A menu bar item allows to start/pause/resume/cancel a timer
   
   - Optional progress messages:
     It can optionally display messages to the screen as the timer is advancing
   
   - Improved time-up messages.
     I found that the end of the timer notifications were too subtle to be noticed.
     It now allows several ways to configure the notifications
   
   - A callback.
     User can specify a callback to the evaluated as the timer is
     started/paused/resumed/cancelled.
   
   - In addition to minutes, a timer can now be set using a time of day,

2. Add setProgress …

   I realized that I removed this function. To maintain full backwards
   compatibility I have added it back. Adds a new type of event (setProgress).
