Description:
For a while now, the copyright message upon running fpc reads "Copyright (c) 1993-2018 by Florian Klaempfl and others" - the year should now be 1993-2019, given that many updates have been made to the compiler in the first eight months of 2019.
Steps to reproduce:
Apply patch and confirm everything builds and the year is updated when the compiler is run.
Additional information:
I might recommend changing this field to use a macro in place of the year, much how the previous line of the copyright message uses the "$FPCDATE" macro to display the full date of the build. Introducing a new macro that just contains the year field does not seem like a difficult extension, and it means that the copyright message does not need to be updated in future.
