Looks like nobody tested this or failed at sigc++.

Yes, should be ok. Just verify that it include all relevant files.

Yes, this is a special option. I don't have it in mind, need to lookup it 
in the settings.

No, this is a static library. Creating a DLL is more complicated. All 
exported things (classes, variables, constants, functions) need to be 
prefixed with __declspec(dllexport) if compiling the DLL and with 
__declspec(dllimport) if you want to use the DLL.
