Over a period of a week or so, while I was celebrating the holidays,
my system experienced a hardware hiccough, causing system
clock/hardware clock time to change to 2020.  The upshot is that a
bunch of merges, a kernel compile, and various other system components
have files that are way out of date.

I have experimentally touched some files with the current date and
time.  Before I blow my holiday reverie in changing dates in this way,
piecemeal, I want to ask the list what special issues I need to be
aware of regarding system dates/file dates and times, etc., and any
advice on fixing this mess.

Thanks for help in the past, and I would also like to add my regards
and best wishes for a great 2006.
