Details:

Attaching two patches here. First one checks for the C++17 compiler. Currently
there no compilers that implement this specification, as the specification
wasn't yet released, so this check wouldn't normally succeed at the moment.

My approach here was to ifdef out some check if they are not supported by a
compiler. The only compilers I tested is g++ 7 from 2016.10.20 and clang++ 4.0
from 2016.10.21. The ifdefs would be removed as the compilers implement more
and more C++17 features.

The second patch adds alternatives for the -std switches. So C++11 features
could be checked with -std=c++11 or -std=c++0x. Same goes for 14 (with
alternative of 1y) and 17 (with alternative of 1z).

Currently gcc allows both -std=c++17 and -std=c++1z, but clang accepts only
the latter.
