use Convert::BinHex to decode BinHex files

## NAME

debinhex.pl - use Convert::BinHex to decode BinHex files

    debinhex.pl [options] file ... file
```

Paul J. Schinder (NASA/GSFC) mostly, though Eryq can't seem to keep his grubby paws off anything...

Sören M. Andersen (somian), made it actually work under Perl 5.8.7 on MSWin32.
