(bug fixes)
Based on discussions with upstream, it is recommended but not
required. gpsbabel requires qt4 now and is about to require qt5,
which makes it very large.
Upstream no longer builds documentation by default. Don't enable it,
because then the build fails because it assumes mapnik is present.
Note that C++11 is now required by upstream, at least if mapnik is
included. For now, just add C++ to languages.
Add patch to remediate new bashisms.
