Hi!

fftw is using an embedded copy of texi2html which leads to
unreproducible html output [1].

texi2html has been patched [2] to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH which allows the
latest date in debian/changelog to be used when creating timestamps
producing reproducible output.

Is fftw willing to drop its embedded code copy and depend on texi2html?
Or would you prefer to keep your embedded copy but add the necessary
changes to produce reproducible output?

In case the latter option is more favorable please use the patch in [2]
to modify your code copy.

cheers,
akira
