Minor update on the RHEL front: build animal armadillo (effectively
running CentOS 6.5) now uses a g++ 4.8.2 from the devtools-2 package.

With that, it now fails to compile nvm, because with the new compiler,
C++11 gets enabled. But the old boost headers on that platform do not
seem to cope well with C++11. So using C++11 with old-ish boost
(armadillo uses boost 1.41) doesn't work.

Note that the branch nvm.mandatory-cxx11 works just fine (as it doesn't
use much of boost, anymore). So does disabling C++11 on nvm.

To me, that's yet another argument to mandate C++11: Otherwise, we
couldn't just turn it on if the compiler is capable enough, but would
have to check if boost is recent enough, as well. Or keep it turned off
entirely and stick with C++98.
