using hex strings as options

[mmiller at hick.org (mmiller at hick.org)]

Committed support to do this for all payloads.  Basically, the way you
should handle this is by passing 'V' as the pack type instead of 'HEX'.
It will automatically detect that the values you passed in are hex
strings and convert them as necessary.

Data can be specified in the following formats:

0x12345678
\x78\x56\x34\x12

Let us know if you run into problems.
