Not via the API.  For disk based databases, it's the latest modification
time of any "base" file in the database directory.  That's true for
quartz and flint (though it may change for flint).

Would an API method be useful (and if so, what for)?  It probably
wouldn't be too hard to return a time_t for the last modification time.
