Okay, so I implemented it.

Mark, Tony, please try the new layout and tell me what you're
thinking about it.


BTW: Since the timestamp is now a single directory name, I decided
to format it as:

    20091220_154718
    
rather than:

    20091220154718

That way, it's hopefully easier to read. I also tried to split
it even more, e.g.

    2009-12-20_15-47-18

but that didn't add readability, so I kept the first variant.


Oh, and another thing: You can set your own build timestamp by
doing something like:

    make ... TIMESTAMP=2009-20-12_my_final_build

:-)


Greets,

    Volker
