I don't understand the issue here, guys.  (I'm not saying there isn't one, I'm 
just saying I'm not very familiar with date format standards and had never 
even noticed we had a $BUILDTIME.)

Could I get a little more explanation please?  What was wrong with the old 
date format that's not wrong with the proposed new one?
