| Not a problem. With the latest emacs-unicode-2 (27th Sept 2004) built

| (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" emacs-build-time)
| => "2004-09-27"

| Looks ok to me... Let  me know if you want me to do some other tests.
| I have both MinGW32 and MSVC build environments. What would you
| (developers) suggest I test. I can test on either one frequently and
| both more in-frequently.

Thank you very much for your help. At least I know this problem does not
exist with latest CVS code.

As for MinGW build with image support, it's very easy in fact. I have
built it with full image support (jpg, tiff, gif, xpm, png). I have
written a tutorial for MinGW. Unfortunately it's in Chinese. If you
think it's useful, I can find some time to translate it into English.
