Hi,

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

This is because it embedded:

 a) The current build date, varying on the timezone of the build
    server.

 b) Timestamps of existing filenames, also varying on the timezone of
    the build server.

Patch attached that fixes both issues.
