'''again''' carry the same time stamp as their sources... :(
I don't know what method they use to create the tarball, but its hard to
see how this can happen. Unless they touch all files before releasing,
it's hard to understand how they can created a configure script with the
same timestamp as the file it is generated from.
Perhaps they copy them with {{{cp}}} at one point, and don't preserve
modification times ({{{cp -p}}}). Whatever it is they are doing, it is
wrong.

just two.
Anything that should be touched should be.

No comment.
BTW, is this really 3-1-1-4, or is it a snapshot? If the latter, then it's
quite possible someone in the Sage community created the configure script
and did not preserve modification times. In which case, the upstream
developers are not to blame.
