Is it possible to make g.version reference a macro of some sort to
return the build date? As it stands, "GRASS 5.3-cvs (2004)" and 
"GRASS 5.7.-cvs (2004)" aren't very informative from a debugging point
of view.  ^


Even better than build date might be cvs checkout-date; the only way I
see how to do that is a cron job that touches and checks-in the VERSION
file with a $Date$ string in it, and then change the parsing on the
VERSION file. (or have the cron job update the file itself)
