I was thinking of the man page. Date is usually in the header or
footer of most UNIX pages (I don't know if there's a standard
about it).

By now, we have in mc.1.in:
.TH mc 1 "30 October 1998" 

As we are making many changes, I think we should update it. We
can do it once for all help files, do it automatically or let
translators put there whatever they like. I would propose the
first choice, but I was checking if second was possible.
