From Max - Related to VT8 transition

Have not tested on Mac due to complications with respect to Qt, VTK, C++11, deployment targets, and the standard library

VTK8 and Qt 5.7+ require C++11. I think it may be necessary to have Slicer build with C++11 at this point, 
although the Linux build has worked so far without explicitly enabling it.

On Mac, building VTK while targeting 10.7 requires manually specifying CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-stdlib=libc++, because the version
of libstdc++ that Apple ships doesn't support C++11. Slicer will likely need to handle this unless we target 10.9.
