Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that libgtk-appindicator could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system and
ensure a stable file order when creating the source archive. Once
applied,
libgtk-appindicator can be built reproducibly in our current experimental 
framework.
