Hello,
Patch CreationDate
If /CreationDate is not given by \pdfinfo, then a default is
used by computing the string by the current setting of
\year, \month, and \time.
Problem A:
The time zone is not set. See the discussion in
de.comp.text.tex, "[pdftex] Zeitzone von CreationDate"
Valentin Schwamberger observed that his AR/Windows shows then
the time as GMT.
Problem B:
It is easy to fool pdfTeX:
* Setting \year to a number less or greater than 4 digits.
* Setting \year, \month, \date, \time to invalid numbers,
eg.: \month=13
The result are invalid dates.
The following patch tries to solve these problems:
* Time zone detection by glibc's strftime("%z").
* The current time is used, not \year, \month, ...
