Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
pixelmed-codec could not be built reproducibly.

This is because recently (?) upstream generated a new imageio .jar
file and my previous patch to ensure that the BUILDDATE file needed to
be updated.

Patch attached that abstracts out the generation and uses it two
places.
