   [OSX date(1) particulars]

   In the end, I figured it would be safest to use mdate-sh, the
   presence of which suggests that the Automake maintainers anticipated
   this difficulty.

Right.  For portability, the change is necessary.  I am just wondering
how to finesse things so that the change is appropriately "internal".
That is, mdate-sh does not produce "%Y-%m-%d %R UTC", but perhaps OSX
date(1) (or some other utility) can, given the output of mdate-sh.
Could you please look into this approach?

BTW, the other patches look fine on first glimpse, but i am ignorant re
RPC machinery, so that's not saying much...  i'm dithering on installing
them mostly due to copyright-assignment process (see other thread) doubts.
