[scribus-dev] C++11

[Johan Engelen]

Hi Jean,
   Sorry for my late reply. It took a while to gather the answer.
I think it is pretty much safe to compile the dependencies with C++03, 
and your own program with C++11. *except* when using GCC 4.7.0 or 4.7.1; 
the problem was fixed in 4.7.2.

regards,
   Johan
