Hi,

Whilst working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we noticed that
cappuccino could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes randomess from the build system -- not caused
by any *output* from polygen as you might immediately suspect  -- but
rather
by caused by a non-deterministic seed being stored in the OCaml
Marshal'd
.grm.o. Setting a deterministic seed does not affect run-time
randomness.

Once applied, cappuccino can be built reproducibly using our
reproducible
toolchain.
