That would make the string really long. I think the revision is more
relevant. A build date should follow the file date/time. I know that can
get lost but....
I guess that the reason you want time/date is for builds that use local
files and are not a svn co r###. What about replace the cbv[###] with
the time/date or other user string on local builds?
More thoughts?
