Hi, geda users and devs.

Recently, some issues with the FreeBSD port were solved. (This may
apply to other systems as well.)

The only question suspended is about non-portable 'date -d'
invocation [1]. As it turns out, compilation works with gnu make
but breaks with BSD make.

So I believe we have two options:
  - leave it in the current state and recommend users to compile
    geda-gaf using GNU make (I don't like this option)
  - fix the date invocation somehow (I don't know how to
    gracefully do it for all platforms)

Any ideas?

Cheers,
  Vladimir
