What is the problem with enabling C++11 features if possible? We do not expect backward compatibility issues, don't we?
The problem is that as a library developer, it isn't your decision whether to enable it or not.

It's better to let users decide whether they want C++11 support.
Ok. I mostly agree, even though MSVC enabled these by default and gcc users will have to make extra effort.
For testing, just look at the testers that have C++11 enabled. Most of them have _0x in the name. For your own testing you can pass cxxflags=-std=c++0x on the command line.
Ok. Let me look into making this change. I guess I'll need to put this in documentation. Gennadiy
