Provide a `callback' argument when creating a `slider%'.

The following example illustrates updating a message field
interactively based on the value of the slider:

 #lang scheme/gui

 (define f (new frame% [label "Hi"]))
 (define m (new message% [parent f] [label ""] 
               [stretchable-width #t]))
 (new slider% 
      [label #f] [min-value 0] [max-value 100]
      [parent f]
      [callback (lambda (s e)
                  (send m set-label
                        (format "Value is ~s" (send s get-value))))])
 (send f show #t)
