First go at adding GCC_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED support
As suggested by David Holland (and Greg Troxel) in another thread:

GCC_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED? :-)
I've been reading through /usr/pkgsrc/mk/compiler/gcc.mk and I have to 
admit I have yet to fully understand how it works. But I've carried 
on nonetheless and the attached patch is fully certified as "works for 
me".
What I've done is, just before the bit where the GCC_REQD list gets 
worked down to a single, highest _GCC_REQD value, is:
1. Look for the presence of GCC_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED.
2. If it is there, check each version in the list against what is 
actually installed
3. Once it finds a match it sets GCC_REQD to that single value (so it 
picks the first found)
4. If it finds no matches then set GCC_REQD to GCC_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED
I don't think this is too bad an approach, but there probably is room 
for improvement:
- It's probably a bit wasteful to check if a version exists only to 
 pass this on to the following bits in the makefile which must re-check 
 once again (somewhere).
- I've assumed versions would be listed as "4.7 4.8 4.9", etc. There 
 is no error handling. It probably won't work if someone puts "4.8.4" 
 for instance, nor if they put "47 48 49". I'm not sure how much 
 error handling is required?
Feedback welcome.
Thanks.
