For any Apple people who care, there's now rdar://15320964 to help with
this conundrum. For anyone else, feel free to file your bugs.

Not to say using the OS version number is right in your case, but when I
need a parseable OS version number without relying upon Gestalt, I get the
ProductVersion key from /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
and parse that into an NSIndexPath, which works great with encapsulating
10.8.
Maybe I am too used to tackle cross-platform Objective-C. Whenever I am doing
system detection now I do the following: uname() and dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT,
“UIApplicationMain”). This will reliably tell OS X (Darwin/NULL), iOS
(Darwin/valid pointer), Linux+GNUstep (Linux/NULL) and
Android+GNUstep(Lin

If you're already working around an OS bug then it should be acceptable to use
OS-specific means to do so.

Well I prefer uname() as it is 1) POSIX standard, cross-platform method and 2)
more fine grained as it tells minor versions apart. (e.g. I can tell Mavericks
DP4 apart from Mavericks DP7 from Mavericks GM from App Store release of
Mavericks from Mavericks 10.9.1)

Darwin is the name of OS X kernel so that is plain okay.
The release 13.0.0 means NeXTSTEP 13.0.0 (Do you remember that what was
NeXTSTEP later became OS X?) which means OS X 10.9.0. The equation is that
NeXTSTEP a.b.c = OS X 10.(a-4).b (OS X 10.0 = NeXTSTEP 4, the last version of
NeXTSTEP that

This returns:
sysname = "Darwin"
machine = "x86_64"
release = "13.0.0"
version = "Darwin Kernel Version 1
You can use uname(3) (on sone other system it is listed as uname(2)) - that is
the most classic UNIX way of telling a system from another.

The documentation tells me that NSProcessInfo operatingSystemVersionString "is
human readable, localized, and is appropriate for displaying to the user. This
string is not appropriate for parsing."
Ok. So what do I use for parsing?
like: if ( current_os_x_version < 10.9 ) then do something...
