And it might be helpful to know that many (most? all?) networked fs 
solutions use the *client* machines current time for setting modification 
timestamps, *not* the server's current time!

This may seem sensible in some cases, but appears to be incredibly stupid 
when you're editing files over the network (via SMB, on a Linux box), 
while building locally (on a Windoze box), and the two machines have 
"incompatible ideas of the duration of one second"... :-)
