> While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
> that xscreensaver could not be built reproducibly.
> 
> The file hacks/Makefile.in uses wildcards to obtain parameters for a script,
> leading to unstable input file order and potentially different resulting
> binaries.
> 
> I have attached a patch to use a fixed, sorted order for these files.
> This makes the build reproducible for me in my local test environment.
