Ok, I see your point. I guess that it is a less important issue since typically it should
be the case that the build date coincides with the cvs date if one does not forget to
update the source before compilation :-)

Nice idea, but in this context "cvs date" would have to mean (1) the
date on which a "cvs update" was last done in the local source tree,
or possibly (2) the modification date of the most recently modified
file in the local source tree (though that could give a false result
if someone were to edit their copy without committing the change
right away).
I'm afraid it's not a practical possibility for gretl to track
either of these things.
