I understand that C++11 have been disabled to make mathgl compiles fine 
by Debian. And I'm fine with that.

However, the -std=c++11 option is not for mathgl, it is required by *my* 
code, i.e. user code that uses mathgl. And, that, I cannot not change.

I know that Debian does not (yet) compile its packages with the C++11 
options but using it in user code is quite common for a while now.
In the current state of the package, one cannot use the mathgl library 
with C++11 code wich is, in my opinion (and at least in my use case) a 
big problem.

Thanks,
Sylvain
