+ libsigc++ implements a full callback system for use in widget
+ libraries, abstract interfaces, and general programming. Originally
+ part of the Gtk-- widget set, libsigc++ is now a separate library to
+ provide for more general use. It is the most complete library of its
+ kind with the ability to connect an abstract callback to a class
+ method, function, or function object. It contains adaptor classes for
+ connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by
+ other C++ callback libraries. Libsigc++ is licensed under the GNU
+ Library General Public License, LGPL."
