I now remember why I did it...

PPUs are entry based and symtables (tstoreddef) don't have a PPU entry 
for themselves. They "only" write two entries: one for the defs and one 
for the symbols. So if I wouldn't have introduced a new entry for the 
options I would have broken all read operations when they'd read that 
new PPU or I would have needed to add the value to either the symbol 
entry or the def entry (both solutions are rather unclean).

So yes, the entry is needed.
