Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rust-xh could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the manual page embeds the current build date.
The patch attached mangles this date after the file has been generated
to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. There is an alternative solution that parses
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH within Rust itself, but I think that might require
an additional Rust crate [1].
