Can't unfortunately use it in AppConstants.java.in, though because the marker is different.

This could be useful in bug 1153978.

Not sure how this happened, but I was missing the platform.ini part.

>+$buildid =~ s/^#define MOZ_BUILDID\s+(.*\S)\s*$/$1/;

Why not just (\S+) instead of (.*\S) ? I don't think the header will work if there are whitespace characters in the buildid string anyway.

Overall this looks good, and it addresses my concern about platform.ini not having a buildid dependency now :)

>diff --git a/build/variables.py b/build/variables.py
>+def buildid_header(output):
>+    buildid = os.environ.get('MOZ_BUILD_DATE')
>+    if buildid and len(buildid) != 14:
>+        print('Ignoring invalid MOZ_BUILD_DATE: %s' % buildid, file=sys.stderr)
>+        buildid = None
>+    if not buildid:
>+        buildid = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
>+    output.write("#define MOZ_BUILDID %s\n" % buildid)

client.mk:
ifdef MOZ_UNIFY_BDATE
ifndef MOZ_BUILD_DATE
ifdef MOZ_BUILD_PROJECTS
MOZ_BUILD_DATE = $(shell $(PYTHON) $(TOPSRCDIR)/toolkit/xre/make-platformini.py --print-buildid)
export MOZ_BUILD_DATE
endif
endif

Can we use the new build/variables.py when generating the buildid for universal builds as well? I don't like that we now have two scripts to generate the same thing (a date string) depending on what's being built. If we use build/variables.py here, then I think we can kill make-platformini.py as well. (Or, have make-platformini.py generate buildid.h instead of adding variables.py)

Looks good to me! Though I suppose this comment is out of date now:
