BUG: ovr_Detect from the 1.3 SDK returns true for the 0.8 runtime

I'm working on a desktop app with Oculus support, meaning we call `ovr_Detect` at startup to determine if we should enable the Oculus menu items.  However, this function appears to rely on a named global event called `OculusHMDConnected`.  

The problem is that if I now build against the 1.3 SDK, and a client has the 0.8 runtime installed, `ovr_Detect` returns true, but none of the other functions work.  This is a giant pain in the ass.  It would be nice if Oculus updated the SDK and runtime to use a different global event name for the production build than for the pre-production build.
