  * test-dont-use-too-old-dep.py: fix tarfile timestamps

  It turns out that TarFile.addfile() doesn't provide a reasonable default
  timestamp, resulting in files dated to 1970 (they're probably wearing
  bell-bottoms and listening to disco too). Then, when the bdist_egg command
  tries to create a *zip*file with those files, it explodes because zipfiles
  cannot handle timestamps before 1980 (it prefers boomboxes and jackets with
  straps on the shoulders, thank you very much).

  This puts a modern time.time() on the members of the tarfile, allowing future
  cryptocoderarchaeologists the opportunity to make fun of fashion trends from
  the user's chosen era, rather than an artificially older one.
