I decided to try porting libsigc++ to the hurd, just to see if it would be easy.
The result was actually quite impressive -- it built perfectly without modifications, and works at least well enough to compile and run the ultra-alpha aptitude UI code that's based on it. (I guess this shouldn't be surprising, as it's not very OS-dependant; I was just a little worried about its memory-management and especially its threading behavior) I've uploaded packages to incoming. Hopefully I got the porter-build stuff right (I'm afraid I may have not done the right thing with the lftp upload..)
