I'd say it should be 949. Note that not all minor versions get their 
own AppKit version number, probably because AppKit remains unaltered 
(e.g. NSApplication.h declares only 4 different version numbers for 
10.3). Looking at existing version numbers there is a consistent 
pattern: AppKit version numbers of the same major OS release have the 
same integral part. Moreover the one without a minor version part 
(like NSAppKitVersionNumber10_4) is always equal to this integral 
part. If you think about it, this is an important requirement, 
otherwise the standard checks like 'if (floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber) 
> NSAppKitVersionNumber10_4)' could never work.
