Ahh yes.

Sure

Yes, but normally it is not too important. Knowing the approximate
date will help us track down changes. One suggestion is that you put
something like

#define SNAPSHOT "03 Feb 2009"

in your config.h and that we change the code to look for it. You would
have to change it manually then.

Another possible solution is to use the version number of the
ChangeLog, but since you are using snapshots you would have to get it
from savannah and then check that your version matches.
