I'd like to see the date of the checkout in the snapshots. So e.g. whups
v1.0-cvs would turn into whups v1.0-cvs20070117. I founf out this can be
done with one line of shellcode:

sed -i -e s/cvs/cvs`date +%Y%m%d`/ version.php

The main reason is: If I've got experimental software installed, it's much
easier to keep track on what's been installed when. Currently, I just keep
the downloaded .tar.gz which isn't as handy.
