Summary:                    Do not add _DATE_ and _TIME_ to the binaries
Description: 
Currently, grisbi includes information about when it has been compiled.

The information is generally useless (It does not offer any real information.
The version string is information for bug reporting).

On the other hand, it avoids some tools from defining if a happened rebuild is
equal to a previous one and if 'republishing' the binaries is needed
(We do this for example in openSUSE, as packages, of which a dependency has
changed, get rebuilt. If the package is 'equal' at the end though, we discard
the publishing, so the user does not get an 'updated' built version').

With Date and Time in the build though, the package is always different and this
process can not succeed, thus wasting bandwidth to the mirrors and to the
clients at no benefit.

Steps to Reproduce: 
N/A => Basically build the code.. and it's there
