Ticket 29: uuid_cli option character does not show invalid option, but '?'

  $ ./uuid -h
  /tmp/uuid-0.9.0/.libs/lt-uuid: invalid option -- h
  uuid:ERROR: invalid option '?'
  usage: uuid [-1] [-n count] [-a] [-d] [-o filename] [UUID]

It should perhaps print "invalid option 'h'" instead. To fix, edit uuid_cli.c's switch() default: branch to use optopt instead of ch, line #132 in 0.9.0 (fixed version shown):

   127                          usage("invalid version on option 'v'");
   128                          break;
   129                  }
   130                  break;
   131              default:
   132                  usage("invalid option '%c'", optopt);
   133          }
   134      }
   135      argv += optind;
   136      argc -= optind;
   137      if (count == -1)
