It's been 4 years and in Australia a PhD is only supposed to take 3.
At 4.5 years they threaten to cancel your PhD!  Hmmm... if I get my finger
out and get cracking I could finish my PhD by the end of May and then come
and spend summer in Europe!

Okay, I'll make it available from my website instead then.

Have you or Karl come up with a cutdown version yet?  I haven't seen
anything in the libsigc++ repository to indicate anythings been done in
that regard yet.  I guess all we need are the generated signal/slot code
and can hopefully skip all the Handles and so on.  That should reduce
things a little.  Have you looked into this yet or shall I -- since I
could then argue that I wasn't working on LyX but libsigc++ ;-)
