This is probably the feature/change that is asked for most.

If we record the config's "last modification date" in reports then we can
tell if two scans used the same version of the config.

We've improved the Targets interface for GSA.  This includes timestamps and
cloning.  I'm pretty sure Configs will get the same improvements.
