Summary: qemu-img -c not working

Initial Comment:
With kvm-56, running:
> qemu-img convert -c winxp64.img -O qcow2 test.img
qemu-img: Alternative compatibility level not supported for this file format

Looking at the source of qemu-img.c, there is an obvious bug at line 474 (if the usage text is to be trusted):

if (flags & BLOCK_FLAG_COMPRESS && drv != &bdrv_vmdk)
    error("Alternative compatibility level not supported for this file format");

This should probably be BLOCK_FLAG_COMPAT6.

-c is for compressed target source image. Naturally, .img file is not 
compressed.
Did you wanted to compress the destination?

Anyway qemu is the right place for these type of bugs.
Thanks,
