[OS X TeX] Deprecated pdfTeX primitive lurking in gwTeX

Is anybody else seeing this, in gwTeX installed with the latest TeX i- 
Package using the TL2005 Devel. setup: upon typesetting with pdfTeX,  
a warning in the console window:

     ! pdfTeX warning: Primitive \pdfoptionpdfminorversion is  
obsolete; use \pdfmino
     rversion instead.

This seems to be caused by the command \pdfoptionpdfminorversion  
lurking inside /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/generic/config/ 
pdftexconfig.tex:

     \pdfoptionpdfminorversion=4

and being hence built-in when creating the pdfTeX and pdfLaTeX formats.

Possible causes IMHO: Gerben using pdftexconfig.tex from an outdated  
(2004?) version of teTeX, or pdftexconfig.tex still containing the  
error in the current teTeX.

The warning is totally harmless, of course, in any case.
