Rewrite updateVersions script in Python, add datestamp functionality.
This updateVersions.pl script was one of the only essential perl scripts left in out maint system, and was the only one that used autoconf to fill in the script. This script adds a feature to define an APPROX_RELEASE_DATE macro that is updated when the version changes. We'll use this to implement prop297, so that we have an accurate view of when a release date happens.

=== III. Making the source release.
1. In `maint-0.?.x`, bump the version number in `configure.ac` and run
- `perl scripts/maint/updateVersions.pl` to update version numbers in other
+ `make update-versions` to update version numbers in other
places, and commit. Then merge `maint-0.?.x` into `release-0.?.x`.
- (NOTE: To bump the version number, edit `configure.ac`, and then run
- either `make`, or `perl scripts/maint/updateVersions.pl`, depending on
- your version.)

When you merge the maint branch forward to the next maint branch, or into
master, merge it with "-s ours" to avoid a needless version bump.
