"package" command creates .hpkg roughly 2x size bigger than haikuporter

The command line tool, package creates packages that are roughly twice as large as those created by haikuporter. For example, manually extract system/packages/perl-5.10.1-6-x86_gcc2.hpkg (9.61MiB) into its own directory and run package create perl-test.hpkg The resulting files size is 18.92MiB. Using package create -9 ... results in 18.92MiB as well.

The issue is that package create <package-name> (without the -C <dir>) will end up including the newly created <package-name> in the final <package-name>.

Using package create -C <dir> <package-name> results in .hpkgs of similar size to haikuporter.

I would consider trying to create the package inside the tree to be packaged a user error, but it certainly wouldn't harm to skip the package file explicitly.

Should we make the -C option mandatory when creating a package? Current command line syntax seems a bit confusing.
