[Interest] lupdate -compress makes files BIGGER?

Doh, in my copy and pasting, I messed the commands up.
I mailed lupdate, but I really meant lrelease, not lupdate. The rest is accurate.

What Qt version is this? The lupdate in my versions of Qt 4 and 5 don't 
have any such option and report an error. The lrelease command does have 
this option.
