Looks good, except unfortunately 'ChangeLog' isn't included in git so
this would fail for people who check out from git and try to compile.
I'm not sure what the best solution for that would be. Perhaps:
(1) include ChangeLog in git?
(2) In the 'make dist' rule, write a 'date' file and use that here?
Only 'date' would have to be included in git.
(3) Make the 'DATE' calculation detect this and use the current date
instead?
Something else?
I think I'm favouring option (2) at the moment.
Rich.
