[cfe-dev] Setting default dialect to C++11

[Mehdi AMINI via cfe-dev]

Hi,

This thread died 6 weeks ago and we're still using gnu++98 as a default as
far as I can tell, what's the plan? Shall we make the switch in trunk? I
suspect we would want this to happen early in the release cycle rather than
late?
