Dear Maintainer,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that mimefilter could not be built reproducibly.
Specifically the order of the sorted md5sums files depend on locale.

The attached patch fixes those issues.

Please consider these other patches from the reproducible builds team:
https://bugs.debian.org/777486
https://bugs.debian.org/793704

Thanks!
Valerie
