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

This is because the _formulas.log file contained a date, likely
timezone-varying. Patch attached that drops all of the somewhat-
useless _formulas.{log,tex,dvi.gz} etc. from the binary package.
altogether.

Thanks for the report and patch!  It has been applied in git [1] and a new version should be uploaded soon.
