New build doesn't change date

I pulled from CVS yesterday (20040424) and rebuilt Fb, but the date in Help->About is still 20040423, when I initially pulled the tree. It says Mozilla Firebird now, where the other one says Firebird Browser, so I'm sure that it actually updated everything.

Why doesn't it change that one thing? The only way I've found is to totally delete everything and pull it from scratch. (I know I could just go in and change the variable.)

$ echo '#define PRODUCT_VERSION "'`date +%Y%m%d`'"' > layout/build/gbdate.h

So I just run that before I build? Is this something that I should have known and everyone's laughing at me now?

I'm not laughing, I can't even read it...

Bah, it's easy: %Y -> Year; %m -> month; %d -> day :)
