I dont see a pressing need to support gcc 2.9* on the Linux or Win32 platforms
where we have gcc 3.2 availiable.  In my opinion, the benefits of Libsigc++ 2
should outweigh the negatives of dropping support for gcc 2.9*.

Someone mentioned earlier that BSD may still require gcc 2.9* support.  Is this
still the case?  I'd be happy to see Libsigc++ 2 used in gtkmm2.4.
