I believe that Dave Page wants to move to building pg for windows
using visual C++ 2010 some time this year. That alone may be enough of
a reason to check for C++0x keywords in headers:

I think that there is likely to be an expectation that the same
compiler that is used to build pg should be able to include pg headers
in C++ TUs.
