I would prefer the standard email notation for the timezone like +0200 or -0800. What do you think about a Make-rule which modifies version.c with the ChangeLog CVS revision numbers (gcc/cp/f) as soon as the CVS/Entries dir structure is detected? I think this will fulfill the need for exact bug reporting at little cost (especially as soon as Alexandre's reporting scripts are checked in) and you don't have to maintain anything, CVS and make do it for you.
