Bugzilla Bug 104061

I tried pdvmkpkg today, using simple commands:
pluto ~ # pdvmkpkg -c test1 test2.txt 
copying pdv...ok
appending payload...ok
done

---------------------
package data summary:

package file name: test1
will uncompress payload
will untar payload

And this is wrong, because the textfile above is neither compress nor tared.
Consequently executing test1 gives:
pluto ~ # ./test1
stdin: not in compressed format
extracting test2.txt...done

And fails to write anything. (So the output is misleading)

However using a compressed, tared file, everything works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "foobar" > test2.txt
2. pdvmkpkg -c test test2.txt && rm test2.txt
3. ./test

Actual Results:  
see ouput above

Expected Results:  
write a test2.txt to the dir

Found the bug: options of 'char' type were being checked against -1, but on
some platforms plain 'char' defaults to being unsigned so the options (such as
"compression") appeared to be enabled rather than unset.

Fixed in pdv-1.5.1-r2
