mipspro-tools.jam: doing different things for different compiler versions?

Hi,

I noticed that the mipspro tool always adds the compatibility headers
to the compile line via STDC++HDRS. With newer versions of the
compilers this is not needed > 7.4 +patch

Patch SG0004605: 7.4 Compiler Header Files for Unix98, C99 and ANSI
C++ namespace std

What's the best way to create a fix for this - currently I just remove
the line in question, but it would obviously be better to work out if
the patch is installed (`showprods -1 -s patchSG0004605` returns
patchSG0004605 if its installed and nothing otherwise) and add it
conditionally.

My problem is not knowing the build system :-)

Suggestions?

Thanks

Kevin
