 these should be removed from all ports, thats fine with me.

 the MacPorts clang compilers, or the system ones, where supported
 (actually, do any of them support c++11).  Should the clang variants also
 be removed, I thought the issues that affect the gcc compilers didn't
 affect these ?

 I'm sure that the C++ support works great when using the Macports clang++
 compilers along with the host libc++.  The problem is that other ports
 will be using libstdc++.  They will end up being incompatible with the
 C++11 variant of this port.  If we want to support C++11 on Mountain Lion
 and earlier, we need to have a flag day where all of our C++ ports start
 using libc++ instead of libstdc++.  That is going to be very messy, and I
 don't see it happening in 2013.
