#4 -v shows incorrect build date

When I did this with my freshly-built-from-CVS-source
ups on 30 November 2004:
$ ups -v
I was surprised to see
ups version 3.38beta1-cvs (build date: Fri Oct 25
16:57:55 BST 2002)

I thought my install was bad and I was getting an old
build somehow. Actually, this string is hard-coded in
the source:

$ grep 'build date: ' ups/*.[ch]
ups/sccsdata.c: "ups version 3.38beta1-cvs (build date:
Fri Oct 25 16:57:55 BST 2002)",

An sccsdata.c file appears in several directories. I
guess the "build date" should be computed and stuffed
in there during the make process. Or, since sccs seems
not to be used any more at all, the sccsdata.* files
should be removed, and this functionality replaced by
corresponding CVS functionality (though computing the
build time still has to be something that happens
through the make process.)
