 * I’m trying to write a simple widget. I have the core functionality working, but
   now I’m trying to add some simple used data.
 * The plugin fails with
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_register_widget_control()
 * Including widgets.php leads to more undefined function calls.
 * Searching on register_widget_control returns nothing….
 * Looking at other plugins, they don’t seem to do anything special….
 * Is there something special I need to do to enable widget control?
 * Or is there a detailed HOWTO on writing widget controls?
 * Thanks,
 * –Yan
