Plugins shipped with VDR usually only need to work with this version of VDR, they (and the newplugin script) don't provide backwards compatibility. Plugin authors that want to support a wider range of VDR versions with one release will usually need to adapt their behavior to the VDR version they compile with. In this case, they will have to add -fPIC and the FILE_OFFSET stuff for older versions of VDR, and only include Make.global for the upcoming VDR versions. However, this is not a concern for VDR or for this patch. Its ok for VDR to look ahead, and not to carry endless compatibility hacks with it.
