Phil,

Rather than $COM, use python's time class and call .gmtime() or 
.localtime(). That's sys agnostic. 

I read your question as less about how to obtain a timestamp and more about 
setting up the dependencies in SCons to generate accurate ts records. 

Anyway, my Alias / Depend approach is just one idea. I'm sure there are 
better ones.
