That would completely ruin my plan to only ever release version 1.0 of
all of my future projects, but increase the epoch instead.
you are very evil indeed.

You can't put a : in a filename on a FAT filesystem.
Interestingly enough, you *can* put a : in a filename on an NTFS
filesystem, if you do it with ntfs-3g. Windows won't like it, though.
Yes, I found that out the hard way ;-)

(though this was several years ago, and ntfs-3g might have been patched
in the mean time to no longer support that, but I have no way of testing
anymore...)

AFAIK you can do that with anything that skips the Win32 subsystem as it's
the only place where the check is enforced (for backward compatibility).
You can also read it back. Maybe you can do that even via Win32 using an
UNC path.
