[fedfs-utils] [fedfs-utils PATCH v2] Remove use of __DATE__ and __TIME__ when building.

[NeilBrown]

Use of __DATE__ and __TIME__ makes it impossible to recompile after
possibly changing context, and see the context made any real change in
the resulting build.
The Open Build Service can do this (to optimise rebuilds) and so
discourages the use of __DATE__ and __TIME__

This patch removes the __DATE__ and __TIME__ leaving just the VERSION.

p.s. I'm not subscribed so didn't get your reply ... but I
checked the archive just in case and found it there.
For some of my projects I include e.g.

VERSION = $(shell [ -d .git ] && git describe HEAD | sed 's/mdadm-//')
CFLAGS += $(if $(VERSION),-DVERSION=\"$(VERSION)\",)

in the Makefile which makes the version message slightly more useful.
I don't know how to integrate that with autoconf.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
