Provide advice in the README about aliasing `xxd` #8

Closed philiptaron closed 2 weeks ago

In nixpkgs, we're contemplating switching over from the original Vim-sourced xxd to this xxd.

The PR brought some discussion about whether the packaging for tinyxxd ought to directly include an alias for xxd or whether a secondary output should be used.

The argument for including it is that Arch packaging does so.

The argument against it is that nothing in this repository (especially the Makefile) does anything of the sort.

Could you please clarify in the README your expectation for packagers?

Hi!

I'll update the README too.
