We should keep with the latest stable version of a package if the
package is needed by other apps. Right now I see that libsigc is
referenced by cdrdao and cairomm. cairomm is used by pangomm which in
turn is used by gtkmm{2,3). etc.
Bottom line is that we need libsigc. I don't think we need to go back
to the stable version, but we also don't need to update unless a new
stable version is released.
