getdate.exe being pulled from SVN repository

[J. C. Jones]

Small nit-pick:

.\reactos\reactos\tools\getdate.exe is being pulled from SVN even though it
is being generated by getdate.cmd and getdate.c that are both in the same
directory?

getdate.exe needs to be available when we run configure, no build action can be done at this time.
getdate.cmd/.c are here as sources only.

Salut,

Since there already exists commands for getting the date via the
command-line on all relevant host OS’s, why not use those built-in commands?
