How is the date horrible?  It is 0 seconds since the epoch, for lack of a
better date.  About our only other alternative would be 'now' instead of
'0', but that is more computationally expensive, and equally misleading
since it is always changing.  Remember, "/cygdrive" is a virtual file,
with no persistent storage and therefore no way to assign it a persistent
date other than to compile one in.
