Hi,

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

This is because it generates a lot of .h files using glib-mkenums that
include differences such as:

  -/* Enumerations from "/build/1st/evolution-3.36.4/src/e-util/e-util-enums.h" */
  +/* Enumerations from "/build/2/evolution-3.36.4/2nd/src/e-util/e-util-enums.h" */

Patch attached that generates the templates for these files using
@basename@ vs. @filename at .
