Any vendors that have bought into VFX Platform (Autodesk, Foundry, SESI) should
in theory have been on C++11 since last year (and should be on board for C++14
for any products coming in 2018).
We're only talking about moving forward, so a stray downstream product stuck on
C++03 can keep using OpenEXR <= 2.2.
I'll give it a couple days to see if there are objections before I do any of
the actual work. But it will be cleaner and easier if we can just assume C++11
as a minimum.
