You have complete control over the name of the source tarball and binary
tarball from _cmake_.  Just set CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME and/or
CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME from within your top-level CMakeLists.txt file. Just
invoke cmake with -DDATE=`date "+%Hh%M"` and then use that DATE variable to
build the name that you want within your top-level CMakeLists.txt file.
