[Interest] C++11 support on Qt5 platforms

[Joshua Grauman]

Can you use any version of the Android NDK with the Qt SDK (ie. using Qt 
Creator and not recompiling Qt source)?

Josh

FYI:

The latest Android NDK (Revision 9, July 2013) added GCC 4.8, although GCC 
4.6 is still the default...

Android NDK, Revision 9 (July 2013)

Added GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8 compiler to the NDK. Since GCC 4.6 
is still the default, you must explicitly enable this option.
