How is "libraries.txt" generated ?

I do not understand what you are saying. Isn't the idea to generate 
"libraries.txt" for the beta website somehow ? Once "libraries.txt" is 
generated for the beta website, will your code now show the correct 
'cxxstd' information ? Do realize that 'cxxstd' has been updated on the 
'develop' branch for the C++11 on up libraries. Maybe the website needs 
for the code to be updated in the 'master' branch in order to pick up 
the 'cxxstd' value for a library. I did put in a 'cxxstd' value of '03' 
for the libraries I maintain, preprocessor, vmd, and tti, in both the 
'develop' and 'master' branch, so this should be picked up by your code.
