BTW: if people use automated date stamp creation, the related software needs
to support this. For this reason, I did enhance SCCS by:
%d% Current date: yyyy/mm/dd
%e% Date newest applied delta was created:
yyyy/mm/dd
%g% Date newest applied delta was created:
mm/dd/yyyy
%h% Current date: mm/dd/yyyy
To get a recent SCCS, get the latest Schily source consolidation from
