When making tarballs without compression (.tar instead of tgz.) then
two options have to be set according to the documentation:

 compress=cat
 compressarg=

Strangely the compressarg command-line option expects a value so it's
impossible to leave it blank. If I try I get:

    Option compressarg requires an argument

>From the docs:

--compressarg=string
    Specifies the command line options given to the compress program.
    For gzip, that would be --stdout --verbose --best, for lzma or bzip2
    --stdout --verbose -7 and for cat, it would be empty.  The default
    is --stdout --verbose --best.

As a workaround I'm using "--compressarg=-u" as "-u" is a deprecated
option to the "cat" command that does nothing. But I'd prefer to use
"--compressarg=".

Thanks! It's otherwise a great tool.
