Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
bibtexparser could not be built reproducibly.
This is because if the tests are run or not, the mtimes of various files
are changed via a "cp" call. A patch is attached that uses "cp -a" to
also copy the (deterministic) source modification times.
