Bug#885853: sasview: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: sasview
Version: 4.2.0~git20171031-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that sasview could not be built reproducibly.

This is because of absolute build paths in the documentation.

Patch attached.
