I didn't read the checkin message closely enough, that's what -- it
looks like backwards compatibility *was* preserved.  What you now code
as

  SingleSelectWidget(values=[val1, val2, val3],
                     descriptions=["Value 1", "Value 2", "Value 3"],
                     ...)

should still work, but the preferred way to spell that is now

  SingleSelectWidget(options=[(val1, "Value 1"),
                              (val2, "Value 2"),
                              (val3, "Value 3")],
                     ...)

which is nicer for *so* many reasons.  I'm a little bit mystified why we
did it with separate 'values' and 'descriptions' the first time around.
(And I think I wrote that bit!)  Oh well, live and learn.
