MS4W binaries for GDAL based on MSVC 2015 have been out there since 
almost a year now; although the current stable MS4W is still based on 
MSVC 2012 (stable MS4W is downloaded 6,000 times per month), I'll be 
moving stable to MSVC 2015 shortly, as it gives proper support for both 
PHP7 and Python3 builds.  As mentioned already, many other GDAL 
dependencies are moving to C++11, even the latest MrSID SDK requires 
this.  My opinion: this new GDAL requirement for C++11 can be annoying 
to packagers, but it is necessary.
