sending patched files is faster (i need to check and diff anyway)

can you test with this:

     if name == "date" then
         -- We could do some number juggling instead but this is fast 
enough. There is
         -- no error checking here so we assume a proper year. Maybe a 
better name is
         -- asis (so that it can be used for more than dates).
         local vector = vector.normal
         for s in gmatch(tostring(n),".") do
             r = r + 1 ; result[r] = vector[tonumber(s)]
         end
         return concat(result)
     end

(btw, we also need to adapt the lmt file ... once mkiv is frozen we only 
add to lmtx)
