Yes ... David told me that Apple don't reallym use those macros any more, and 
someone else told me the MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED should be defined 
externally by the compiler.

Maybe we should continue to set some value in GSVersionMacros.h if it's not 
defined though ...
I'll re-add the bit to set it to 999999 if it's not defined, but I'd appreciate 
any information from OSX coders about what we should actually be doing.
