	It's actually the moment the _cluster ad_ appeared in the queue. 
(Hopefully a non late-materialization submit never takes long enough for 
the difference to become clear.)

	You can add the following to the job submit file in order to learn 
when the job was materialized.  The idea is that late materialization must
evaluate some substitutions at job ad creation time, rather than submit 
time.

NOW=time()
MY.MaterializationDate=$INT(NOW)

	You could use a submit transform to make sure every job in your AP 
gets a MaterializationDate.
