And now a big thanks to Martyn and anybody else in R Core who pushed this through to the R 3.1.0 release this morning. Having Makevars to let us say CXX_STD = CXX11 (plus the other variants) is a real step forward, and relying on the information gleaned at configuration time for R is sensible too. It's really good to have this, so thanks again.
