I still think we shouldn't have workarounds for versions of the
standard older than what we want to support.  IOW, if we decide to use
C++11, we should _require_ a compiler that supports it, and error out
if the configure test(s) regarding that fail.

Supporting more than one standard means we will have rarely used code
that is almost never tested, and that means maintenance burden which
threaten to undo at least some part of the benefits you aspire to
achieve by moving to C++ in general and to a new enough C++ standard
in particular.
