That's definitely important, but the date is not the same as the
version, which is the thing you really want. How about we print the git
hash instead of the date? That's available in theory (in the directory
name you get from that archive).

I can write the Makefile rule, but these git-less archives lack the
necessary information. What would you like? If we can't/don't want to
get rid of those archives, how about we move to version strings, and
I'll give you a Makefile patch?
