Thanks.  A follow-up question:  Is there a way to do this globally, or
would it be necessary to do this separately for each project?  It's not
a big deal, but globally would be more convenient.

(Feel free to answer here or in the new thread I started to ask this
specific question.)

Thiago, help me out here ...  Compiling Qt (4.8.4, to be precise) with
c++11 features turned on was the main point of this thread.  How do
you do it?  (Or are you specifically not compiling the "problem modules",
QtScript, etc.?)
