Description Michał Górny archtester

Firstly, this flag never made much sense.  Forcing a particular standard used to be necessary to preserve compatibility between libraries and executables in old versions of GCC.  This is no longer a case today.

Secondly, GCC/Clang defaults to C++14 (gnu++14) nowadays.  Therefore, USE=c++0x forces *older* standard rather than newer one.

Thirdly, you've copied description from ROOT.
