ielm needs cat in the path

[Juanma Barranquero]

ielm invokes cat to create a dummy process. cat is usually not found in
Windows environments (unless you're using cygwin o mingw tools or
equivalent).

hexl is a good substitute because:

1.- It is included with Emacs

2.- It is always available (because EMACSPATH is added to exec-path)

3.- Its memory footprint is smaller than cat's (at least on Windows and
Solaris...)



                                                           /L/e/k/t/u

        * ielm.el (inferior-emacs-lisp-mode): Invoke hexl instead of cat.
