SVN user pgf added a canonical hexdump (the -C option) in svn 12560,
so this patch is no longer necessary. This message has been recorded
here only for the reason of posterity.

add "-C" format to hexdump

fixes bug #113 and satisfies a personal need at the same time.

output compares identically to util-linux version.  (with
exception of whitespace differences on last lines of output with
non-uniform length, which are neither fixed nor worsened by this
change.)
