Oops, I'm afraid I didn't look closely at the format used for
BUILD_DATE.  It uses the English 3-letter abbreviation for the month, so
we end up with file names that look like

    on-crypto-2010-Jan-12-nd.i386.tar.bz2

I'd rather use all numbers for the date.  First, it'll mean that sorting
by file name also gives you sorting by date.  Second, I think it's
friendlier for people whose native language is other than English.

I have a mild preference for 

    on-crypto-20100112-nd.i386.tar.bz2

because it's more compact.  But it's harder visually to parse, so I'm
okay with

    on-crypto-2010-01-12-nd.i386.tar.bz2
