When a file is checked out (with co) of an RCS directory, it seems to me
that it would be nice if the modification date were set to the date of
the revision.  This would keep "make" happy.

Because I've just started using RCS in an attempt to bring some sanity 
to our software, I might easily be confused.  Perhaps there's a good reason
that the file time should be the time of check-out, and I'm just not really
in the RCS groove.  Any explanations are welcome.
