You always get one if there is more than one file (of whatever kind) 
being processed.
I should just make it always produce the file and drop the option.

There used to be a slight justification for this behaviour because
in qlandkarte you could load a single .img all by itself without
a .tdb or overview map, but now in qlandkartegt you always need one
and the same is true of mapsource.
