Following up on the thread spawned a while back, I just wanted to say that I
appreciate today's RSS serving of R-devel NEWS:

   CHANGES IN R-devel PACKAGE INSTALLATION

   There is _experimental_ support for compiling C++11 code in packages. The
   file ‘src/Makevars’ or ‘src/Makevars.win’ should define the macro
   ‘USE_CXX11 = true’. Where needed, an alternative C++11 compiler can be
   specified by setting macros ‘CXX11’, ‘CXX11FLAGS’ and so on, either when R
   is configured or in a personal ‘Makevars’ file. (The default is to use
   ‘$(CXX) -std=c++11’.) 

Thanks for initial and incremental changes. They are appreciated.

Dirk
