Once again, sorry for the delay in making the LGPL exception text
official.

However, I'm now wondering if maybe a change from LGPLv2 to LGPLv3 would
be simpler. libsigc++ is licensed under "either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version" so changing it to
"version 3 or later" would be a lot less work.

I think LGPL3 seems to allow more than 10 lines of template code in
headers, as long as you say that you are using the library, but I'm not
completely sure:
