Upstream 2.1.10 added a new --date option to yat2m, but GnuPG 1.4.20
did not get it yet. I guess that's why gpgv.1 still has a timestamp
that depends on the build time.

Werner, could this change be backported to GnuPG 1.x? (I do realize
that it's not merely about ya2tm.c, since e.g. doc/Makefile.am is
also affected.)

Cheers,
