Re: update the manual dates



Looking at documentation (in a pile of papers), its very, very
useful to have:
	1) the date
	2) the software version number.

Jim Meyering is doing it in his packages...that way, at a glance
I can tell "this is the most current one".

Also, minor updates deserve a new date.  If you diff the texinfo
files against 4 years ago, I'm sure you'd see lots and lots of changes
(even though the manual is well done).
