//  stdlibc++ C++0x support is detected via __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and possibly
//  __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ at the suggestion of Jonathan Wakely, one of the stdlibc++
//  developers. He also commented:
//
//       "I'm not sure how useful __GLIBCXX__ is for your purposes, for instance in
//       GCC 4.2.4 it is set to 20080519 but in GCC 4.3.0 it is set to 20080305.
//       Although 4.3.0 was released earlier than 4.2.4, it has better C++0x support
//       than any release in the 4.2 series."
//
//  Another resource for understanding stdlibc++ features is:
//  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/status.html#manual.intro.status.standard.200x
//
//  However, using the GCC version number fails when the compiler is clang since this
//  only ever claims to emulate GCC-4.2, see https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7473
//  for a long discussion on this issue.  What we can do though is use clang's __has_include
//  to detect the presence of a C++11 header that was introduced with a specific GCC release.
//  We still have to be careful though as many such headers were buggy and/or incomplete when
//  first introduced, so we only check for headers that were fully featured from day 1, and then
//  use that to infer the underlying GCC version:
