c++11: detect and correct for boost builds with an incompatible abi
This is ugly, but temporary. boost::filesystem will likely be dropped soon after c++11 is enabled. Otherwise, we could simply roll our own copy_file. I've fixed this at the buildsystem level for now in order to avoid mixing in functional changes. Explanation: If boost (prior to 1.57) was built without c++11, it emulated scoped enums using c++98 constructs. Unfortunately, this implementation detail leaked into the abi. This was fixed in 1.57. When building against that installed version using c++11, the headers pick up on the native c++11 scoped enum support and enable it, however it will fail to link. This can be worked around by disabling c++11 scoped enums if linking will fail. Add an autoconf test to determine incompatibility. At build-time, if native enums are being used (a c++11 build), and force-disabling them causes a successful link, we can be sure that there's an incompatibility and enable the work-around.

dnl Boost >= 1.50 uses sleep_for rather than the now-deprecated sleep, however
dnl it was broken from 1.50 to 1.52 when backed by nanosleep. Use sleep_for if
dnl a working version is available, else fall back to sleep. sleep was removed
