[Rivet] c++11 features in Rivet routines

[David Grellscheid]

Hi Roman,

for now, Rivet analyses must compile cleanly with standard C++98. The 
main constraint here is the widespread adoption of the (by now 
4-year-old) SLC6 which as default does not come with a useable C++11 
compiler. I expect that we'll review this point once CC7 is in 
production (maybe 2015-Q1 according to 
http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/centos7/).

See you,

   David
