Wait... what?

There's not a single "boost::tr1" in the code.

If you're referring to the "boost/tr1/*.hpp" include files, and/or the 
use of namespace "tr1::" where C++11 now has the same functionality as 
"std::", - by all means leave them be:

(1) POV-Ray is /not/ written in C++11; it is written in C++03/TR1. 
Consequently, the TR1 functionality should /not/ be accessed via the 
namespace where it resides in C++11, but via the original "tr1::" namespace.

(2) This is a deliberate decision, aimed at providing maximum 
portability. To my knowledge, all contemporary C++11 compilers also 
still support the "tr1::" namespace.

(3) The use of "boost/tr1/*.hpp" instead of the corresponding TR1 header 
files is also deliberate, in order to provide compatibility with pre-TR1 
C++03 compilers. The boost/tr1 header files are stubs that pull in 
either the compiler's own TR1 headers (if available), or map boost's 
implementations of the same functionality into the "tr1::" namespace. 
Likewise, it can be expected that future versions of those header files 
will also pull in from "std::" of any C++11 compilers that cease to 
natively support the "tr1::" namespace.
