I have a makefile that I am trying to get to build a binary dist for me, by putting the date and time into the tar filename. I can't for the life of me get it to work. ONCE I ran it and it worked, and then I deleted the tar files and tried again without editing it, and it failed.. go figure..

Using command substitution in make.
