Patch for the above flaw

The exigrep tool seems to use a hard coded path to the zcat binary.
OTOH it seems that there is code to autodected the decompressor and to call it
without any explicitly set path.

And IMHO should be up to the admin to decide about the location of binaries by
playing around with the $PATH environment.

(I found the bug in 4.next)
