Yeah, we're scratching our heads about this too.  We didn't expect an 
anything-10, ever, back in the day when the XXXX-pattern was 
developed for AvailabilityMacros.h.

It has to be decimal because the C preprocessor can only magnitude-
compare decimal values.

There is no decimal value between 1049 and 1050.

We can't change the 2.4.1 in the field, but we have a shot with 2.5 
to do something useful, as soon as we figure out what that would be.
