It predates gump.sh by far.

I use .timestamp in the cron job that runs Gump and I think Leo and
Sam do the same.  The .timestamp mechanism allows you to do partial
Gump runs based on older builds.

To illustrate this.  Gump starts at 10pm on my box, today's results
(running more than eight hours) have a timestamp of 20030730 (to me
that's yesterday).

If I want to experiment with changing some project descriptors to see
whether I can get a certain build going, I simply rerun gen.sh and
test.  If Jenny didn't take .timestamp into account, all generated
jars would have the wrong date (as now would create 20030731) and I'd
have to rebuild a lot of projects.

I hope I could clear that up.

You can always override them from the Gump descriptor.
