While working on the reproducible builds effort, I found that
when building the libbq package for openSUSE Linux, there were differences between builds:

That's interesting!

The man pages are generated using doxygen2man and the 'to' date is usually taken from the current date so it should always be correct if the computer date is set right, so check that first. If doxygen2man is picking up an wrong date from somwhere though I'd be interested to know how.

I've created a PR that might help this #415, and testing you can give would be much appreciated :)
