Installation did not work:

I wrote a simple ValueModel in Cuis-Smalltalk-UI, we should synchronized 
because I think I could not follow the protocol with value/value: 
(propertyValue/propertyValue:)

In the meantime I wrote a simple Preference browser for the boolean 
preferences. It uses the widgets found in Cuis-Smalltalk-UI. The package 
is in the tools/ section of the Cuis-Smalltalk-UI repo.

Yes, in the Preference model I did not find way to define data type. 
Beside boolean, you may need to define preferences as an index from a 
list, free string, closure, number from a slider.

For example Preference>>togglePreferenceValue broke when used with non 
boolean preference.
