You dont need cygwin to use it. If you want to use the "original" version yes
you have, and only because g++ is better than msvc working with templates. If
you want to use msvc, then you have to get the "modified" version. Once compiled
and installed, it works fine. Some care must be taken to mantain portability but
if you do it it WILL work.

I dont think that it's that pain. For example, this code:

// connects a button click to a method :
button.sigButtonClick.connect(slot(wnd, &TestWindow::handle_show_window));

// connects a button click to a function :
buttn.sigButtonClick.connect(slot(handle_click), &data);

It appears clean to me. Maybe be you could show a uglier sample ? :)
