Hi,

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

This is because it varied depending on whether it was built with a
32- or 64-bit kernel. This resulted in a different value for defs.LIB_DIR.

However, I don't believe this definition is actually used (it seems to
be just one of many pre-populated fields from a generic build system),
so the attached proof-of-concept patch simply removes the line from
defs.py.in.
