Brad King fd4fd9a276 Require C++11 to build CMake itself
CMake can now compile as C++11 on all supported platforms.  Check that
std::unique_ptr is available and fail early if missing.  This will allow
us to use C++11 more broadly in CMake's implementation (previously it
was restricted to the serve mode implementation).

CMake Development
*****************

This directory contains documentation about development of CMake itself.
It is not part of the user documentation distributed with CMake.

Contributor Instructions
========================

See `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_ for instructions to contribute changes.

The process for contributing changes is the same whether or not one
has been invited to participate directly in upstream development.

.. _`CONTRIBUTING.rst`: ../../CONTRIBUTING.rst

Upstream Development
====================

CMake uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development, review, and
integration of changes.  The `CMake Repository`_ holds the integration
branches and tags.  Upstream development processes are covered by the
following documents:

* The `CMake Review Process`_ manages integration of changes.
* The `CMake Testing Process`_ drives integration testing.

.. _`Kitware's GitLab Instance`: https://gitlab.kitware.com
.. _`CMake Repository`: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake
.. _`CMake Review Process`: review.rst
.. _`CMake Testing Process`: testing.rst
