I'm not sure whether the following is what you have asked for, but...
Here we go:

-------- cut here --------
#!/bin/sh

cvs update version.c 

CURR_DATE=`date +"%Y%m%d"`
OLD_VERSION=`cat version.c`

sed -e "s/\(.*egcs-[^ ]*\) [^ ]*/\1 ${CURR_DATE}/" >version.c <<HERE
$OLD_VERSION
HERE

cvs commit -m "Daily bump." version.c 
-------- cut here --------

Is that useable for you?

Indeed I noticed that the latest snapshot now carries a 4-digit year, so
none can complain about my script introducing this... ;-)
