Summary: Build date of SDCC in generated files

Initial Comment:
The shown build date in .rst, .asm and so on is only correct if SDCCglue is compiled too.
My suggestion(s): 
1. If make detects that *any* module must be recompiled, SDCCglue.c should be compiled too
2. An extra module (always compiled) to show the build date within the generated files

Instead of touching SDCCglue.c from the makefile I have replaced __DATE__
with a new function getBuildDate() in SDCCutil.c which already depends on
version.h.
SDCC 2.7.5 #5068.

I solved it in between by adding a line in "src/makefile.in":

version.h: ../ChangeLog
	$(AWK) -f $(srcdir)/version.awk $< > $@
	touch -c $(srcdir)/SDCCglue.c             <--- 

if version.h is changed, SDCCglue.c will be compiled

In the release and snapshot builds everything is compiled from zero, so
the build dates are correct. What happens on developer's svn snapshot copy
is up to him...
