Enable c++11 support?

I am not sure if it would be a good idea, but it would make initialization of the two vectors for circular pattern possible. It could reduce start up time for iPad e.g.

Pattern::CircularDictionary *circdict; 
std::map<Pattern::Circular,unsigned int> *circlevels;
std::map<unsigned int,std::string> *circstrings;
std::map<unsigned int,float> *circgammas;

//test c++11 Enable with -std=c++11

std::vector<int> test={1,2,3,4,5};

The reason I have avoid upgrading to C++11 is because I don't have admin privileges for some of the machines that I test Oakfoam on and they are running older version of gcc without the support.

Does this actually make a difference to loading time? If tests show that it actually makes a difference, I will revisit C++11.

Personally I prefer to have the large files stored external to the binary. For one, it wouldn't help very much when you are testing new weights, because re-compiling with the prospective weights seems will cause many problems.

would be ok to me, but I have no idea how to write / read std::map. I will let you know,

I think it might even be possible to use the file for compiling in the gammas only, if c++11 is availible.

hmm compiling it in does not seem to be an option, as gcc needs hours to do this for this kind of data structures, so if you see a way to load binary I would love it:)

Ok, it seems like this is resolved: enabling C++11 support will not fix the problem.

A possible solution might be to generate a binary format, but this will probably be more work than it is worth.
