Description

We need to change from the outdated working title "C++0X" to the name of the current standard "C++11" [0,1]. This does not only apply to documentation. For example in dune-common/m4 several files are called cxx0x_* and one Test is called CXX0X. It'll get tricky with the release of GCC 4.7 because they will change the compiler option from -std=c++0x to std=c++11 [2]. The C++11 support in GCC 4.7 will not be backwards compatible with the C++0X support in the already released GCCs [3].

Does someone know about other compilers like LLVM/clang or ICC? Are there Dune users using GCC 4.7 trunk?
