Hi,

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

This is because it includes output inherited from non-deterministic
filesystem ordering:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pybedtools/cbedtools.cpp:

│ │ │ │ @@ -16,17 +16,17 @@
│ │ │ │              "z"
│ │ │ │          ],
│ │ │ │          "name": "pybedtools.cbedtools",
│ │ │ │          "sources": [
│ │ │ │              "pybedtools/cbedtools.pyx",
│ │ │ │ -            "pybedtools/include/fileType.cpp",
│ │ │ │              "pybedtools/include/bedFile.cpp",
│ │ │ │ -            "pybedtools/include/gzstream.cpp"
│ │ │ │ +            "pybedtools/include/gzstream.cpp",
│ │ │ │ +            "pybedtools/include/fileType.cpp"
│ │ │ │          ]
│ │ │ │      },
│ │ │ │      "module_name": "pybedtools.cbedtools"
│ │ │ │  }

Patch attached that sorts these entries in setup.py.
