Incrementing from 5.0a to 5.0b is not a big hassle at all. However,
putting a date stamp (a time stamp is a bit much) on the compiler is
extremely useful. As a case in point, Lattice accidentally shipped two
versions of 5.04, both of which said '5.04'. In cases like this, having
the compiler give the actual date it was built helps to sort out exactly
what's what. Using the date of the compiler's file isn't generally enough,
since that's easily changed/munged.
