my kitgen kits drop the modified date from embedded files (windows)

Hoping somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I need tclkits with a manifest for 
requestedExecutionLevel=="requireAdministrator", so I downloaded kitgen, 
and the source code for tcl 8.5.11 and 8.6.b2.

I'm compiling with VS2005, which chokes on a warning embedding the 
manifest, but I got around that, and it looks like everything compiles 
correctly.

If I build a starkit with either of these binaries, and use it to copy a 
file to the computer, the file has no 'modified date' in Explorer. In file 
properties, all the files show a modified date of 1/1/1970 (Windows Epoch) 
leading me to presume that the actual value is null.

If I do a local copy (from the file system to the file system) all of the 
dates populate properly. It's only when I copy one out of the starkit onto 
the file system.

I've looked at the googlecode-starkit pages, and don't see anything 
relevant (closest: metakit gets confused with embedded certificates), nor 
do I find anything at the tcl wiki.

I'm going to try some other things--metakit-based kits for example, and 
eliminate machine-based causes--but I'm hoping somebody might have an idea 
what's going on or ideally have fixed it before =]
