Ian on this and the cdbi list has checkbox and radio button support in his
AsForm.  I used to have a copy but can't find it at the moment.  Basically just
make a "_to_bool_checkbox" sub and put a clause like this in "to_field" with
all the other clauses like this:

return $self->_to_bool_checkbox($col) if $type && $type =~ /tinyint(1)/i;
