Sync with upstream branch

[ajette]

Have you considered submitting this upstream? It looks like right now the merge would be painful because I think you originally cloned off of sourceforge and there are some spacing issues. I think your changes, which is such a simple code change but so incredibly useful, can be generally represented against https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools with:
