FYI: Paragraf 3 of the LGPL entitled you to take any (part of the) LGPL-ed 
library, and publish it again under GPL if you want, or if you have to in 
order to merge the (parts of) the library into GPL-ed program. 

This was done with the purpose of clearing the doubts about the 
compatibility of the two licences.

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html

"3) You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public 
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library...." 

This of course causes problems with sending bug fixes back to original 
work, so I wouldn't execute this right unless something terrible happens 
to original project (premature death, licence change).

cheers

AFAIK, LGPL is perfectly compatible with GPL projects from a legal 
standpoint, considering we would just be including it as a library in a 
GPL project.
