I just tested it but it doesn't. Apart from the fact that you need to
copy the sigc++config.h.in to sigc++config.h, there is a problem with
the creation of the exports file (the .lib) that goes with the dll. I
tried (to test) to circumvent that by creating a static library but that
gives me a bunch of linker errors in the current configuration. The dll
way is the way to go though; James, can you comment on how you created 
the exports file? Maybe we can add that in a custom build
step. If I had time I'd go looking for it myself but I don't, unfortunately.

cheers,
