Hi! While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that many Python packages would not build reproducibly because the order of names in the top_level.txt file would vary from one build to another [2]. It would be great if these names could be written in a stable order. With the attached patch, names are sorted before being written.

+Description: Outpt top-level names in stable order
+ In order to make the build process of Python module reproducible, names in
+ toplevel.txt must be written in a stable order. Here we go for the simple
+ answer by sorting them.
