[LLVMdev] Using C++'11 language features in LLVM itself

For our works project, we are still stuck on MSVC 2005 and MSVC 2010
(our software is a binary plugin to established products). Admittedly,
we are still sitting on LLVM 2.8 with patches from 2.9 (2.9 wouldn't
compile in MSVC 2010 for x64) . We want to move to current LLVM (not
least for the NVPTX and AMDIL targets), but have not yet had the
available man hours to do so.
