Hi,

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

The attached patch removes timezone-varying timestamps from the
files extracted with unzip. Once applied, jsmath-fonts-sprite can be
built reproducibly in our reproducible toolchain.
