This should work with the version i just checked in, it used to require
you specify the filename to extract, like ar -x foo.deb bar

This happened since i converted it to getopt the way it is the filename
has to be specified immediately after the command that acts on it i.e.
ar -v -t foo.deb, i might have to look at how other functions use
getopt. 

Thanks for the feedback
