I just started looking into doing the replacement and noticed that I'm also 
using:
* Non-static data member initializers (N2756), gcc 4.7
* Range-based for (N2930), gcc 4.6
* constexpr, gcc 4.6
* possibly also delegating ctors, gcc 4.7 (difficult to find)

Overall it looks to me like I cannot make this code base to work again with 
gcc 4.5 without spending a lot of time and possibly introducing regressions.

So how should we go on?

Cheers
