What exactly is the syntax for difference rule? I could not find it 
in docs from CVS. 

Based on Borland example I interpreted it as a substitution rule.

Indeed, lines:

CFLAGS = [ difference $(CFLAGS) : /Og ] ;
CFLAGS = [ difference $(CFLAGS) : /Gs ] ;

remove these two deprecated options and there are no more warnings 
to the effect.

However, when I tried: 

CFLAGS = [ difference $(CFLAGS) : /ML ] /MT ;
CFLAGS = [ difference $(CFLAGS) : /MLd ] /MTd ;

to remove options for nonexistent VC8.0 single-threaded library I 
get both /MT and /MTd concatenated to every compiler command line.
