OK, but if you don't commit the code to svn (as Vincent has stated in
other messages in this thread) then the svn version number is only "less
than or equal to" the real version number.

I think if you don't like the format of __DATE__ then drop it into a
const during compile then pick out the parts you like when displaying.
Should be able to find them at constant offsets at run time.

The rule in the Makefile for the file containing __DATE__ needs to be an
"always build."
