Many thanks.

We cannot survive without a bump in HEAD before 9.0 release,
but we do not need bump immediately.

So far the condition for new API will be

   if (    (osreldate >= 900040)
       || ((osreldate >= 803000) && (osreldate < 900000)))

Of course, when MFC will bump revision, the 803000 constant
will change (probably to 802509).
