Fixed command output in makePDF.py

[0ssifrage]

" ".join(cmd) may be different from the command it really runs.
It may mislead users who have problem compiling the tex file, so I suggest replace the code with subprocess.list2cmdline(cmd)

Oops! OK, thanks!

Seems like this is a function that should not be used externally, as per,
http://bugs.python.org/issue11827.

That function does not appear in the Python 3.3 documentation.

Thanks, but I still suggest that " ".join(cmd) should be replaced by some functions.

(When I compiled the tex file with Chinese characters in the path, it returned the command without some necessary quotes, which made me think that there is something wrong when generate the command. So I checked the code for a long time, only to find that the command it run was fine but the command it displayed had minor mistakes. The reason why I couldn't compile the tex file was the xelatex command doesn't support Chinese characters well.)

So I suggest to display the command in another way or just let it don't display the command (because the probability of error that could not compile is very small, and the wrong command displayed is not very useful.)
