 revbump every C++ project that uses C++ across an API boundary to start
 using libc++ instead of libstdc++.

 Continuing to use a gcc4.2 based libstdc++ (and ancient gcc's on pre-
 XCode4 OSs) is going to be a bigger and bigger issue for C++ code I think.
 Switching to always using clang/libc++ as the default compiler is probably
 worth exploring (I don't know if current xcode-dependent default C
 compiler and clang++ or clang/clang++ is better).  Boost is probably going
 to keep dropping support for those old versions, meaning no port that
 depends on it will work on those older OSs due to C++ runtime mixing (I
 didn't follow the thread on the most recent update closely, but it looks
 from the Portfile blacklist like boost might now be using a newer FSF gcc
 on some older OS X releases? that can't be good...).  Boost is also
 particularly problematic as it is so tightly entangled with the particular
 compiler version and options used to compile it.  I think the stdlib is
 the biggest issue, but I don't know for sure what gets built differently
 in the boost libraries when you compile with --std=c++11, and how that
 interacts with the template portions of boost that are compiled later in
 some program without using c++11...
