I wouldn't mind if this were a string subcommand.
Initially I wanted something like this to tag package filenames.
What gave me another push is this CMake test:
http://open.cdash.org/testDetails.php?test=160586053&build=2583145
It seems to fail on my system because it relies on the US locale
formatting of %DATE% and %TIME% (my test system has a german locale).
There are also these older mailing list posts asking for something similar:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-March/027915.html
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-November/041030.html
It would be really cool to have fractions of seconds too but I'm not
sure how to portably implement those.

Hmmmm. Good idea.
Should we add a new command for this? Or should it be a sub-command of
"string(" like RANDOM is?
And... while we're at it, I've always thought we should add the
ability to get the creation/modified/access times from a file via the
CMake file command. If we allow getting the "current" time, we should
leverage some of the same transformation-to-string code in the file
command to get the various times associated with a file.
What do other devs here think:
New command or string sub-command for this functionality?
Thanks,
David

I've tried creating a patch (attached; should apply to master) that adds a
timestamp creation command.
It builds on strftime but only allows a limited number of conversion
specifiers.
I tried to only allow those which are portable (C89), locale independent and
of fixed range and length (with the exception of "%Y").
