The configure script has a set of "touch" commands that should set the
appropriate timestamps.  I'm not sure why this isn't happening with
your build.  I will test it on my system and report back.

Seeing as the release is in a tarball now, I could dispose of that
hack and set the timestamps properly in the tarball, but for now I
think I will leave it in so it builds properly for people that check
the code out of CVS.

Eventually we will fix the build system so it doesn't rely on files
having particular timestamps.
