The follow-up discussion in #pkgsrc shows that both this and harfbuzz
really want a C++11 compiler. As such, all the fun mentioned already
in the discussion earlier apply and given that a lot of pure C using
packages will pull this in via different paths, I stand by my position
that and kindly ask for this changes to be reverted. At this point, bulk
builds for NetBSD 6.1 should likely really pull in GCC 4.8 for all
non-trivial dependencies (e.g. for checkperms and cwrappers and that's
likely it?).
