2019? Some form of @YEAR@ to make it auto-update from configure results?
I think 2018 here refers to the version of Rust that it's compatible
with:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/cargo/reference/manifest.html
In any case 2018 was inserted by ‘cargo new’ (even though it's 2019)
so I guess they know what they're doing :-)

You can tell the struct used to be called NBDKitPlugin, until
I worked out about module namespaces.
Thanks, I pushed it.
