Where is this creation date recorded? Is it just the file's attribute or is
it contained inside the file's data?
If inside the file's data - how difficult would it be to create a utility
that can modify this information without having to change the system's
clock?
(if it's just the file's attribute then a simple call to utime(2) will do
the trick).
