    "sort"ing the returned list makes the process
    reproducible again.

Thanks Josef (and Dirk). Applied. --karl

Hi,

We rely on builds to be reproducible.

The PERL script bin/automake.in calls the perl function "keys" at
several places. The returned list, unfortunately, changes between
invocation of the script. "sort"ing the returned list makes the process
reproducible again.

Attached is a patch courtesy of Dirk Müller.

Josef
