Hi Peter,

(adding maintaienrs@ just in case there are C++ madmen around)

Wow! "The core of botan is written in C++11"

No support of C++11 in SolarisStudio 12.3:
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10730210:
  "Studio 12.3 (C++ 5.12), currently in beta test, has no support for C++11.
   We will provide full support for C++11 in a future release."

And only experimental support in gcc 4.8:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/cxx0x_status.html

I guess this is going to be a bumpy ride :-D


Best regards
