IMO, compress is not accurate. It just coalescing the entries in
the dirblock. It is not removing any dir blocks. A better word would
be optimize as they have in fsck.ext3's manpage.

"Optimize directories in filesystem. This option causes fsck.ocfs2 to
coalesce the directory entries in order to improve the filesystem
performance."

We can tweak this further when index dir support is added. The current
patch does not force rebuild if -D is provided. Not a big deal. Should
be easy to add later.
