[Rivet] compile error and patch: OSX 10.6.8 or more std C++ compiler

Hi Will,

Rivet's Particle class has a fromDecay() member which allows to test for
hadron or tau origin of any particle. Quarks aren't considered in this,
however, due to the lack of portability. Is that sufficient for you, or
not? Our tools are always evolving, but we're quite firm about not
implementing "unsafe" (i.e. generator-dependent) features... but if the
case for it is really good then we can try to reach an MC agreement on a
standard representation.

Andy
