If there are no objections I would like to merge this branch to trunk. Note that it will cement in the C++11 requirement. Causing RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 builds of *trunk* (Squid-4) to require manual compiler installs of GCC 4.9. I was holding back due to the above annoyance factor. The reason for current push being that GCC 5 / stdlib headers now include deprecation warnings about rand() usage which turn into build errors on some of the current latest OS distros. Along with other build errors about shared_ptr and auto_ptr which will not be able to resolve easily without full C++11 requirement anyway.
