Public bug reported:

We are requiring in the QMake project file (./src/src.pro) that the C++
compiler uses C++11 features/behaviour {with a "CONFIG += c++11" entry}
- however no such switch/setting is in the (top-level) CMake project
(./CMakeList.txt), for versions of CMake of at least 3.1 then something
like "set_property(TARGET tgt PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11)" should work but
prior to that version there is not a compiler independent way to do this
and at least the Travis C.I. build platform is only using CMake 2.8.11
and that is after we update it from the 2.8.7 that is provided by
default.

Note that CMake is likely to be used for Windows builds, so a solution
should provide coverage for both the Mingw compiler that we might use
for distributable binaries and a MSVC one that individuals might use in
the home for non-distributable own use builds (the Free versions of the
MS compiler do not permit distribution of binaries I understand).

For comparison my Debian OldStable (Wheezy) PC provides a system CMake
version 2.8.12 but then my platform is overdue for an upgrade to Stabe
(Jessie) which may improve on that.
