moving to C++11 and beyond? about cover-tree HOT 1 OPEN

Dear all,

@DNCrane was so generous to allow me to become a collaborator on this project. As I am using this project in my daily work, I am planning on the following tasks in the coming days:

• lift the required C++ standard to C++11/C++14
• provide a test suite using catch2
• add a license to the code
• improve the performance of the implementation (see this issue to get an idea)

If I get all of this done, I'll drop it in dedicated PRs and merge them early next week, Feb 19. If you have any feedback on it, I am happy to receive it.
