The version string is currently generated when you run configure. There
is a bug for this, but, at least to me, the solution isn't clear. (For
example, if you build incrementally, should all files that depend on the
version string be rebuilt? Since the version string contains a
timestamp, that would be always)

Hi, I did a build on the 21st but java -version shows the 19th. That
could make sense because I did the clone on the 19th. Where does the
version string come from? -Pete
