While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE (sponsored by the NLnet NGI0 fund), I found that
our pygraphviz-1.13 package varies in every build, because documentation html varies in various places where it records timings.

e.g. this diff

Is there some way to make these build artifacts deterministic?
