Any thoughts on the following patch? It gets rid of the DATE file and
has the date automatically updated when autoconf is run. This has the
advantage that the date will be automatically updated when a release is
made and the man pages won't read "1 Jul 2003" for ever. It also means
the date gets updated for building out of CVS but that's fairly
harmless.
