Perhaps we could add something to either:
i) snoop through the cvsup tags on the client to identify the most recently
modified file and use it's datestamp as the '-stable-yymmdd' seed or
ii) modify cvsup client to record most recently modified file in a more
convenient place from which 'make buildworld' can retrieve the same,
