I did a few quick tests with $libsuffix, but can't seem to use constants or
other dates:

library libtest;

const mydate = '{$i %date%}';
const mydate2 = {$i %date%};

{$libsuffix mydate}
{$libsuffix mydate2}
{$libsuffix {$i %date%}}
begin
end.

Since afaik some preprocessor directive now expand constants (since Delphi
does), it might be worth a bugreport.
