The Signals library uses Boost.Function internally, and it picks up 
Function's limitation with respect to free functions. If you change the above 
to:

        sig.connect(&test_sig);

it will compile properly. Make sure you have service pack 5, though, because 
otherwise you will get an obnoxious internal compiler error.

more significant and had put it on the back burner until I had time]
