@~suv: In response to comment #4

We can actually fix this fairly easily by requiring a C++11 compiler if (and only if) the new GNOME libraries are being used. Any system with those should also have a C++11 compiler, I guess. Any attempt to actually use the new C++11 syntax would make the Jenkins/PPA builds unhappy, so this should stop it happening "accidentally". We shouldn't require new GNOME libs, so support for older OS X versions should not be affected for now if we use a conditional C++11 requirement.

I'd suggest targeting the fix for this to 0.91.1 since it will start to cause build problems on new linux releases quite soon.
