There are a few patches and pull requests asking for C++11 support in Open
Babel.
My main question is when we "pull the plug" on older compilers.
Pro - drop older compilers for 3.0 since we're dropping a bunch of backwards
compatibility
Con - we're changing a lot of other stuff, let older compilers still use OB-3.0
From what I can tell, gcc-4.8 supports C++11 going back to mid-2013, but I'm
not sure what distros have older compilers (e.g., CentOS).
For reference, GROMACS is moving to C++14 with the upcoming 2020
release. C++11 has not caused us any issues.
But there will be tons of new warnings :)
Thoughts?

(My personal feeling is that we force C++ support for 3.0 and going forward.)
