Hi Michael and John,

many thanks for the reports about date failing - I've now modified
makeversion to hopefully detect FreeBSD or GNU date (or if neither
are present just use ChangeLog format).  Also fixed is the incorrect
version number mentioned above..

hope this produces a cleaner build

regards,
Gaius
