Is there a reason to generate $MDATE via != rather than simply changing the backtick execution within the sed command?

I prefer it for easier debugging the Makefile, and for being clear that it's only being evaluated once per use of Makefile.inc. Because we're going to use one date in common for all manpages there's no need for per-file checking.
