Brad King 3a60c899fc cmake: Teach "-E tar" command a "--mtime=" option
Add an option to set the mtime of entries in a tarball so that one can
create a tarball with a consistent content hash (e.g. MD5) for a given
set of files regardless of their current timestamps on disk.  This will
be useful for submission of tarballs to CDash, which tracks content
hashes to avoid duplication.

-----------------
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` command learned a new
``--mtime=<date>`` option to specify the modification time
recorded in tarball entries.
