Just to give everyone a bot of perspective here, for several of my embedded 
targets the *only* mandated toolset is derived from gcc-2.95.

So that limits the subset of C++ it will support quite a bit. Many things (e.g. 
Boost) will not even build for these targets, (though there are more issues in 
play there than just compiler version of course...)

Yup - but see above  ;-)


In general, I would like to move fltk to a more modern dialect of C++, and I 
don't want my archaic tools to hold everyone else back.
But I do want to point out that the newest thing is often a long way from being 
the best, viewed in a wider scope!
