So we are going to have my_plugin version 0.5, followed by 0.20, and
then 0.6 or 0.7? Which one is the latest?

Or, if the plugin version always matches Geany version (not in
releases only), then the plugins have no their own version at all.

I see Enrico doesn't like it, but maybe we should have something like:

plugindata.h:

#ifndef PLUGINS_VERSION
#define PLUGINS_VERSION " - Custom Build"
#endif

myplugin.c:

PLUGIN_SET_[TRANSLATABLE]_INFO(..., "0.5" PLUGINS_VERSION, ...)

plugins build system:

gcc ... -DPLUGINS_VERSION=\" - Geany Plugins 0.20\"
