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

[William Hamish Bell]

Hi Andy,

We would need a fromHadronDecay() function, where electroweak decays resulting in tau->leptons would be rejected.  Can we go ahead and patch

https://rivet.hepforge.org/code/dev/a00682_source.html#l00054

?

Thanks and best regards,

Will
