  Since we have the version number in a separate file at the root level,
we should not need to duplicate this in rte_version.h too. Best
approach here is to move the macros for specifying the year/month/etc.
parts from the version header file to the build config file - leaving
the other utility macros for e.g. printing the version string, where they
are.

For make this is done by having a little bit of awk parse the version
file and pass the results through to the preprocessor for the config
generation stage.

For meson, this is done by parsing the version and adding it to the
standard dpdk_conf object.

Might be a bit early for the stable while the 19.05 is still being cooked
:-)

I think you broke make support.

Can't we just pass the RTE_VER_XXX as CFLAGS here ?

Argh no, I mean passing RTE_VER_XXX as global CFLAGS.
I am not really a fan of having the version in the config file, but I have

Well, yes and no. It should be fine if you remove the build directory and
recreate it, as the code for generating the build config has changed.
