Comment (by greenshady):

 I'm not sure I see the need for a bunch of different widgets when a single
 widget is reusable.

 Why not simply put in a drop-down `<select>` of available post types in
 the main widget class?  Then, add a either a filter hook for post types to
 opt-in or an argument for `register_post_type()`?
