batctl: optchar variable uses wrong type

  The variable "optchar" used char instead of int leading to a non
working batctl tp command as the while loop parsing the tp
arguments with the getopt command is only left via the "default"
case leaving the tp subcommand unusable. Using type char also
lead to a compiler warning.

I find the commit message extreme confusing. It think you wanted to describe 
following problem:

* some platform C ABIs define char as unsigned
* getopt can return negative values
* the loop "around" getopt waits for a negative value to stop (which never
  happens with an unsigned char)

But the code change itself looks good.

Hi all –

since the beginning of the open-mesh development platform Axel Neumann and I have been paying the domain registration fees for open-mesh.net and open-mesh.org. Since Axel went on to work for bmx as a seperate project a few years ago, I'm paying the fees every year out of my pocket.

This year I'm on a tight budget. So if anyone wants to throw in a coin or two to share the costs, this would be appreciated. The amount due this year is around 39 Euro.

If you want to donate, drop me a personal e-mail.

Cheers,
Elektra

I personally would pay for the open-mesh.org address. I will send you a 
private mail to discuss the transfer.

I can also help out.

Do we still need the .net domain? I think we are primarily using open-mesh.org 
anyway, and having two domains doesn't really help (and costs money ;]).

What do you think?

Applied in e397137aa9f4417ec21b4ba3db59b4f4e55b72fd [1]. The commit messages
was slightly modified to (hopefully) make it more readable.

Kind regards,
