Picocom send/receive fails due to dependency. #133

"File not found" is the error message when lrzsz is not installed, which is bad as we think at first the problem is with the file we want to send/receive.
Picocom should have lrzsz as dep. Minicom has it as a recommendation at least.
e.g. Debian apt shall install lrzsz dep. whenever install picocom.

Regarding the package dependency, I agree that picocom could recommend 'lrzsz' package. But you need to file this report to Debian. Upstream can't fix this.

Regarding the error message, this is the one I get on Debian:

*** file: hello_world
$ not_installed_tool hello_world
exec: No such file or directory

*** exit status: 126 ***

I think it is not too bad because it says it comes from "exec" not from the tool to be called. What would you prefer in this case?
