Subject: g.version should show finer precision timestamp other than just year
Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 6.1 CVS checked out 2006-06-09

Would it be possible for g.version to show more detailed information about /when/
the Grass version was compiled? This would be very useful for example on machines
where multiple Grass cvs versions are installed, and the user is unsure of what
particular cvs brand they are working with. In this respect, g.version reporting
"Grass 6.1 cvs (2006)" isn't really telling the user a whole lot.

I would like to see this too, but "GRASS 6.1-cvs built yyyy-mm-dd"
doesn't tell you much. Maybe it is an old snapshot which is rebuilt on a
newer date? Maybe have CVS server "touch; update" or "date > cvs.date"
a file in the CVS which the build system could include in the devel
version string, instead of just a hard-coded year?
