#8 ferrisloki-3.0.1 fails to build with libsigc++-2.2.2

[Mike Frysinger]

the libsigc++-2.2 release removed the SigC compat namespace among other things, and now ferrisloki bombs

Thanks for reporting... I noticed this recently when building libferris for Fedora 9 which also ships with 2.2.x of libsigc++. I have fixed the sources of libferrisloki and other things in the whole project tree to build with the later libsigc++ and no longer use the deprecated SigC compat namespace. A release of these newer tarballs will take place shortly. Time permitting.

ferrisloki-3.0.3 seems to work for me now; thanks
