[Reproducible-builds] Bug#789799: tmexpand: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that tmexpand could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps, hostname and username from the
build
system; this seemed the best course of action given that the generated
"email
address" will be bogus anyway and users will invariably file a bug in
the BTS
instead of contacting some misc email address.

Once applied, tmexpand can be built reproducibly in our reproducible
toolchain.
