* GCC 4.8 support no longer needed for master by City of Munich (Stephan)
    + their new base-line is Ubuntu 18.04 / gcc 7
    + wrote a mail to the list already. 
    + CentOS 6 + Developer toolset dependency.

    + a good idea to check/configure for latest-1 VS 2017 version (Tor on mail)

    + CentOS7 ? (Michael)
