'touch *' should update the timestamp on all files in the directory. If you
would like to do so on all files in subdirectories as well, something like
'find . -exec touch {} \;' should suffice. (The find command is incredibly
powerful and underutilized, IMO.)

find underutilized?!? I can't go a day at work without my friend find. :)
(And you should see my root crontab -- loaded with 'find' commands.)
And of course, if you want to change the date/timestamp of selected files, you
can use:
find . -ok touch {} \;
