Not to downplay the usefulness of such a timestamp, but 1) unix timestamps
mean almost nothing to me when *I* look at them and 2) ls -l shows the
modification time in human-readable format... :)

But hey, the field's size is 32 bits, and our favorite time_t is also 32
bits, so I'd endorse it as another valid option (until January, 2038).  I
think it'd be kinda neat to just show the last modification time in Webmin,
though.  While we're on the topic.
