Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that
tunnelx could not be built reproducibly.

During the build, two files called 'listdir.txt' containing the list of files in
a directory are created.  These files are created with:
`ls $x | LC_ALL=C sort > $x/listdir.txt`
I believe there is a data race between the creation of the listdir.txt file and
the listing of the directory $x$ by 'ls', causing the listdir.txt entry to
appear sometimes in the file and sometimes not.

The attached patch fixes this by using a temporary hidden '.listdir.txt' file
that is then renamed to 'listdirtxt'. Once applied, tunnelx can be built
reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
