[scribus-dev] using c++11 in scribus

[Craig Bradney]

This may be the case however we cannot continue to achieve change without moving up the versions. We’re so far behind on some of them that we forget things we wanted to do when Qt or other dependency fixed or introduced something. XP cannot hang around forever and we will not support it forever. We should drop it now, and as I do not think we can reliably support it for 1.6, we should simply drop it for 1.5.x.

Qt provides installers for various versions of Linux, even if those distress do not have the binaries in their repositories. We’re in a development version, we should just make progress.
