Hi Doug,

We needed dynamic dll of Boost.Signals library and we fixed the
dllimport/export problem. The attached files are context diffs (diff -u)
against the current cvs state. 
Note that we had to move the slot_base's "get_invocable_slot",
"get_inspectable_slot" and "tag_type" template member functions to namespace
scope because otherwise the dll would be required to provide all possible
instantiations of those.

Hope it helps you and us, :)

AC.
