Comment (by hinder):

 What sort of error message would people get at the moment if C++11 is not
 available, and they try to build the ET on a machine without the
 CARPET_DISABLE_BBOXSET2 macro defined?  Should C++11 be detected
 automatically duing autoconf, and Carpet use this to decide whether the
 new code is used?  Or should the check be more specific, for the features
 which are actually used?

 I am thinking of users trying to set up the ET on a new machine which does
 not have C++11 (are these sufficiently rare that we can assume users won't
 encounter them?) and getting an error message which does not clearly
 explain that they need to set a Carpet macro due to having an old
 compiler.

 Thanks for the unit tests; I actually looked for such a thorn, but for
 some reason didn't see it.
