new variables {__YEAR__} {__MONTH__} {__DAY__}
  I made a custom version of MakeNsis.exe 201 to solve a reversioning problem.
I added 3 predefined variables.

!define ${PRODUCT_VERSION} "${__YEAR__}.${__MONTH__}.${__DAY__}" 

>;-> 4.10.02

In the script.cpp, 2 modified functions:

void CEXEBuild::set_date_time_predefines()

{

 time_t etime;

 struct tm * ltime;

 char datebuf***91;128***93;;

 char timebuf***91;128***93;;

 char yearbuf***91;128***93;;

 char monthbuf***91;128***93;;

 char daybuf***91;128***93;;


 time(&etime);

 ltime = localtime(&etime);

>#ifdef _WIN32

 SYSTEMTIME stime;

 stime.wYear = ltime->tm_year+1900;

 stime.wMonth = ltime->tm_mon + 1;

 stime.wDay = ltime->tm_mday;

 stime.wHour= ltime->tm_hour;

 stime.wMinute= ltime->tm_min;

 stime.wSecond= ltime->tm_sec;

 stime.wMilliseconds= 0;

 GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DATE_SHORTDATE, &stime, NULL, datebuf, sizeof(datebuf));

 definedlist.add("__DATE__",(char *)datebuf);

 GetTimeFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, 0, &stime, NULL, timebuf, sizeof(timebuf));

 definedlist.add("__TIME__",(char *)timebuf);

 GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, 0, &stime, "y", yearbuf, sizeof(yearbuf));

 definedlist.add("__YEAR__",(char *)yearbuf);

 GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, 0, &stime, "MM", monthbuf, sizeof(monthbuf));

 definedlist.add("__MONTH__",(char *)monthbuf);

 GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, 0, &stime, "dd", daybuf, sizeof(daybuf));

 definedlist.add("__DAY__",(char *)daybuf);

>#else

 my_strftime(datebuf, sizeof(datebuf), "%x", ltime);

 definedlist.add("__DATE__",(char *)datebuf);

 my_strftime(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%X", ltime);

 definedlist.add("__TIME__",(char *)timebuf);

 my_strftime(yearbuf, sizeof(yearbuf), "%y", ltime);

 definedlist.add("__MONTH__",(char *)monthbuf);

 my_strftime(daybuf, sizeof(daybuf), "%d", ltime);

Some times we like "${__YEAR__}.${__MONTH__}.${__DAY__}" but not "${__YEAR__}-${__MONTH__}-${__DAY__}" it's usefull. Hope include in the next release. :)

I think it would be best to make a define switch, or a new command that allows the user to select his own format. That'd also allow to get different times in different places in the script.
