Description:
------------
The problem is is as per the summary.

date("U") is not returning a valid datestamp.

In my case it is returning "%ld" (without quotes).

The date function is returning the expected results for other pattern strings I have tried.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$today = date("U");

Returns %ld

Expected result:
----------------
A valid timestamp should have been returned.

OK, the problem is that when buildconf runs it replaces the config.w32.h file (which is somewhat strange, as that file is in CVS).
The solution is to patch the correct file :)
