Hi,

Whilst working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we noticed that cmtk could not be built reproducibly.

Patch attached that addresses most of the problem. However, due to the use of default values in the "help" output, the "--time" entry for the manpage actually displays the current (default) time!

It actually does this in a totally broken way, not converting it to a char, so you end up with weird stuff on the command line, but it shouldn't be shown anyway if we want to be reproducible.
