It isn't a standard header, so it wasn't in the libstdc++ part of libg++.
It's a clone of the hack that used to be in cfront before cfront had
templates; it is for making pseudo-templates with the preprocessor.
I think that it should be considered very obsolete.

There aren't any version dependencies, so you could use the generic.h
from the old libg++ with egcs.  It's just macros for gluing tokens
together.
