Hi.
I created a patch for doxygen that allow get the current date and time
from the DOXYGEN_CURRENTDATETIME environment variable in iso 8601
extended format.

The expected usage in the debian/rules file is the following:

LAST_CHANGE = $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog -S Date)
DOXYGEN_CURRENTDATETIME = $(shell LC_ALL=C date -uIs -d "$(LAST_CHANGE)")
export DOXYGEN_CURRENTDATETIME

Comments are welcome.
Greetings,
Juan Picca

Note: the code for parse the date is simplified from QDateTime
