The <i>API version number</i> refers to the plugin API version number of the VDR
version this plugin was compiled with. Compiled plugins can run with newer versions
of VDR as long as their plugin API version number is still the same as that of
the current VDR version. That way minor fixes to VDR, that don't require changes
to the VDR header files, can be made without requiring all plugins to be
recompiled.
