[Scummvm-devel] ATTN PORTERS: Switching to C++11 standard

[Thierry Crozat]

That is good news indeed. I have added this info on https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Compiling_ScummVM/C%2B%2B11_Readiness <https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Compiling_ScummVM/C++11_Readiness>

Would you be willing to take over providing the mac PPC release builds? Now that I no longer have a PPC mac, making and testing those is a pain for me, and I am not particularly motivated to update my toolchain to support c++11. I can still take charge of doing it for the 2.2.0 release using my old toolchain if you need time to prepare for it.
